A Proclamation of Feelings

Try as we might

We will never be

Whatever we want us to be

What I want is:

A man to be my equal

Worthy of a husband

Someone to build me up

When I’m feeling down

To make my world feel whole

When it’s empty otherwise 

What about you?

Someone to make you feel safe

Or just less lonely now

A passing thought for you

And gone with a flash 

It only matters here

With your feelings and nothing else 

This isn’t a song much less a love song

More a proclamation of feelings

Mine are on point

How about my assumptions of yours. 

I’d beg for it

A duet with you 

But you’re too detached to act now 

What I want is:

Honestly above all else 

And no more evasion 

What’s wrong with that with you?

Since you’re the damage

That I’ve been dealing with 

Buck up, face down your faults with me

This isn’t a song much less a love song

More a proclamation of feelings

Mine are on point

How about my assumptions of yours. 

I assume what you want and need

But I’m reading your actions 

And they say many things

Like how you care only for yourself

I can’t help but believe it’s true. 

Prove me wrong if you can

This isn’t a song much less a love song

More a proclamation of feelings

Mine are on point

How about my assumptions of yours?

I had a dream with you in it

You told me everything

For better or worse you told me
