Untitled 2002
By Jessica Walter
Open my eyes and I'm alive
Or is this just one of my whims
where I conjure up the starry nights
and the sappy soundtrack scoring our first kiss?
and a fear of commitment equals a fear of rejection
that leads me to believe the thrill is all in the chase
but where is it getting me?
I keep running this never ending race
I can't help but wonder if you'll catch my breath
catch my eye
or will I leave you in a whirlwind wondering why
Why I cared but then turned cold
Why I refused to let this love unfold
Why I would fling you aside like a forgotten toy
But like a kid in a candy store,
I'm always looking around for something
bigger, better, faster- more
Am I prepared for what's in store for me?
What will I do with this chance at happiness?
Will I embrace it or will I regress back to that little girl, scared and selfish
trying to present the facade that I am innocent and helpless
Help me, expose me
save me from it all
I don't want to hurt as I have hurt
But I remember a friend once told me,
If you don't risk anything, you'll lose it all.
