New Perspective

I hide behind so many faces and names that I practically lose myself in all the pain.
I play with the head, I trick the mind, yet I never seem to find
The words to tell you how I feel
About your heart and how you steal
My breath away every time you
Look at me and tell that it’ll be okay
Once we find the end to all those hateful times that
You would cry and hold me close and tell me that you
Left your heart out on a line
Letting it hang out to dry
In the heat of our love
Saying it was all because of this
New perspective that you held
In your palm, on your thumb
Oh stop this rhyming, it’s so dumb
Just tell me that you’ll remove my mask of pain
Call me by my real name
And love me till the lights go out
For I need you
I have no doubt.
