Secret Admirer
I
Days begin to pearch as the calls begin to roll through,
I left it unpicked but responded to the text coming through.
I placed the footprint in my heart and retard the fingerprint.
II
I chew off your name like the air in me,
I pledged my allegiance to your lies and bear no witness to your truth,
I handled your love as nothing and treat your hate like jewelry.
III
I live my life unconsciously and it turns you off consciously,
You feel i do not care, but i still know your birthday.
You feel i care, but i still can't remember your flavorite song.
IV
I set my focus on your errors and ignore your perfection,
You accused me of this but I'm still not aware of it.
But now it appears i broke your heart,
And within me it's not something i planned,
For my candle couldn't see beneath itself,
And the more i rip you off till the end.
V
Now all i feel within me is there's a lover somewhere,
Unknown admirer that is unknown to me,
Or known admirer yet unknown to me.
VI
My apologies i relay to you for the time past,
My mistakes i wish i could withdraw,
The truth I've aired to you where ever you may be,
For someone else will love you back,
But someone isn't me!
