Let’s Get Down To the Beat of My Infatuation

I wonder what the world would be like,
If only for a day every one’s thoughts were vocalized.
To have the realms of your mind exposed,
And have the barricades opinions brought down.

I contemplate what your reaction would be,
To my entrapped thoughts about you, finally being unleashed.
Would my thoughts drive you away,
Or are they the final lure that brings you to me?

Tell me if you notice,
How much of a compulsive tease you are.
Bring my hopes up, give me strength, provide me with safety.
Walk away, and reality awakens me from that dream.

You don’t mean to cause so much torture.
It’s all in your subconscious after all.
Shooting subliminal messages straight through me.
Am I that good at hiding my wounds?

But I wonder if that one day,
Where the world speaks its mind.
Let those hidden whispers turn into screams of attention.
If that would all come to a halt.

For you, my mind is your crystal rose.
It’s protected by my steel cage,
But you’re the only one with enough strength over me,
To make it collapse by choice.

I hope you acknowledge the fact that only you can do that.
I’ve tried so many times to shake you off,
But your presence remains constant in my memory
Sadly, I don’t think this black magic works both ways.

So let’s leave it at this typical farewell…
You’ll wander, live the life you always have
Showered in oblivion and bliss,
And you’ll quickly forget about me.

While I’m drowning in thoughts of you,
Replaying our scarce moments together.
Wondering what would’ve happened,
If I only had asked you to dance with me…
