A Perfect Paradox
I didn’t see the whole picture
I never even questioned this
How could I have not noticed
All the half lies that leave your lips
Oh, you’re just as sweet as molasses
My knees buckle when you say hello
With that kind of look in your eyes
How could I have not known
And when you get real nervous
You run your hands through your hair
Nothing made sense to me
But of course I never cared
Boy, it’s driving me crazy
I’m not the only one to see
The sheer depth that you hide
It makes you a perfect mystery
I’d throw my head back laughing
At every stupid thing you said
The ease with which you exist
God, it’s fucked with my head
Your crazy and unending abyss
And the need to fall deep is strong
It feels so right, to step to the ledge
Yet I step back, because I fear being wrong
I never even questioned this
How could I have not noticed
All the half lies that leave your lips
Oh, you’re just as sweet as molasses
My knees buckle when you say hello
With that kind of look in your eyes
How could I have not known
And when you get real nervous
You run your hands through your hair
Nothing made sense to me
But of course I never cared
Boy, it’s driving me crazy
I’m not the only one to see
The sheer depth that you hide
It makes you a perfect mystery
I’d throw my head back laughing
At every stupid thing you said
The ease with which you exist
God, it’s fucked with my head
Your crazy and unending abyss
And the need to fall deep is strong
It feels so right, to step to the ledge
Yet I step back, because I fear being wrong

Aptly titled and emotionally compelling. The war between heart and mind is not without casualty.
Nice spill.
Nice spill.

That damn cliff is a humdinger. I tend to just park my butt on the edge until I tell which way the wind blows. Unless I'm feeling more brave...then I just throw caution to the wind and leap. Sometimes that leap is totally worth the fall. :-) ~Willow~

If only my heart had its own instincts as well, never lines up with my head. Thank you, Billy, for the read and comment :)
