It should be easy
I know what I need to do
But theres cobwebs in every doorway
Doubts everywhere
So I just sit here
Waiting for the tears to fall
Ever pushing onwards
Hoping for a resolution
I'm not truly sad
Infact mostly rather happy
Yet as I write I feel I'm ready to cry
I havn't cried for years,
But this is the closest I've ever got
Waiting for the tears to fall
Even though I know what I need to do
To make the pain stop
I've equal certainty I won't do it
And no matter the times I tell myself
To have courage
That it'll be ok
That I have nothing to fear
I still sit here
Waiting for the tears to fall
I don't even know if she has any idea
And that's the problem basically
Does she have any idea how I feel?
Waiting for the tears to fall
If I knew I wouldn't feel this way
And I shouldn't feel this way
Waiting for the tears to fall
Because while she might not
Feel as strongly as I
I know she doesn't hate me,
Far from it infact
But that is all I am certain of
Waiting for the tears to fall
And if that is certain
Shouldn't I be able to tell her how I feel,
Without fear
And yet...
I still sit here
Waiting for the tears to fall
This emotional tempest
Would probably drive her away
Confusion stares,
Anger flares
Drying my unshed tears
Why should I cry?
I'm not really sad!
Just ...uncertain...
But then the fires die
And I'm here still
Waiting for the tears to fall

I wrote this at a time in my life where I was in a bit of turmoil, not that long ago really but because of changed feelings and levels of emotion (the tempest has died down to a calm breeze as far as sadness and confusion are concerned, but the love still burns strong) I'm able to show others this without those feelings overwhelming me...
 
sometimes, you just need a good cry.
i'm glad that even in times where you're on the verge of tears, you still have so much optimism in you. i envy that, really.
hope things work out for you. you deserve it.
