At A Distance
I keep you there at a distance
Cause you could be gone in an instance
Try and estimate the possibility
Of the probability of impossibility
So stay woke from ridiculous dreams
They’re silly little things that bite and sting
So drunk off delight, and blind from the light
Thought you’d know better with such bold insight
But we bathe in trickery and play in misery
How long will we draw out the mystery?
Until the present is history?
Until now is distant as then, until we're forgiven all our sins?
My resolve grows thin, how could losers ever win?
Evaluate that I may not be
Your kinda guy
Your kinda boy
Your kinda dude
Your kinda man
Or even your kinda friend
So before it can begin just leave it at the end
Cause you could be gone in an instance
Try and estimate the possibility
Of the probability of impossibility
So stay woke from ridiculous dreams
They’re silly little things that bite and sting
So drunk off delight, and blind from the light
Thought you’d know better with such bold insight
But we bathe in trickery and play in misery
How long will we draw out the mystery?
Until the present is history?
Until now is distant as then, until we're forgiven all our sins?
My resolve grows thin, how could losers ever win?
Evaluate that I may not be
Your kinda guy
Your kinda boy
Your kinda dude
Your kinda man
Or even your kinda friend
So before it can begin just leave it at the end

End before it even starts. This poem has a really nice flow and build up. Your kinda guy. What does that mean anyways? Great poem

It means the kinda guy that you misplace what you want in, if its love, the epic romance the future king of your dreams … its more of a warning that I can see all that you want and me not wanting to give it to you or not being ready to give it to you Appreciate you reading
Love this all the way through, every word, every proper rhyming....and feel fresh about the thought of subtle distance between you and her. "So before it can begin just leave it at the end" could be very beautiful when it comes to loving someone and you don't want to get hurt.... well written Free Love.

Every word, I am applauding. Superimposing piece of reality which many of us seemingly avoids. By simply not evaluating
ourselves and others. Nevermind that part about not
knowing enough to know what it is we really need and want.
Hearting this one

Thank you very much, some jus don’t know how to accept certain things. You cant pursue who doesn’t want to be pursued…knowing that your not the one is full of clarity and its nothing wrong with that
