Schism

By: RJ Flores

the thing about liking someone is simple, it's no real drill
you know, when everyone gets used to it after a while
it should be more like a thrill
she said i'll think about it
and he waits feeling like an idiot for not receiving answers there
but no one imagines in deeper sense
and it's never the unusual that happens
never the moderate prediction
it's a struggle in between, one very hard to see
he never imagined liking someone who would think i was cool
when your heart is in someone else's mind
anything you might do, and or say is like a demand for attention
he never imagined i'd love someone like her
he was scared, and didn't know what to say instead
i prayed for time, there in the moment of pain
more than once i kept thinking i wasn't made for her
that i wouldn't be that boy for her
i thought he was more like a challenge instead
she would doubt me and ask how i felt about the whole thing
all i told her was i loved, and still do, all i ever knew how to do
she thought she'd know by now that his heart wasn't designed
for her - it was a shame, she always ended up feeling that way
take me to you, where you feel safest and most comfortable
maybe what i'm to do and say may help you understand
all i ask of you is to try and be stronger than your past
and that there is hopefully a future giving us a chance
