Message

Thought up, scribbled, posted
Wonder if it's been read
Has the message finally
Got straight through to my head

In all honesty I can't answer
Because I'm just not sure
Don't know if there's an antidote
To that potion pure

That consumes all and everything
And leaves them in it's wake
Tossing and endlessly turning
Without pause, respite, or break

What do you get when you fall in love?
Goes the line from that famous song
When it's all so magical?
Or when it goes disastrously wrong?

But all I have are questions
No answers to be found
In the words I leave here for you
No reason, rhyme, or sound

What do you feel deep within you
When your eyes your lover behold
Does the temperature rise quickly within
Or do you just turn cold

Do they stare right back with intent
Of love deep in their heart?
Or does a coldness flow out of them
Like you've long since been apart?

Do you want to really hold them tight
And know your love will be returned?
Or are you left all empty
Knowing their love's no longer earned?

Alas, I have no answers for you
I thought I'd mentioned that before
And as I check back through my text
I know I did, I'm sure

For I sit somewhere in the middle
I can feel both sides, you see
May be this verse is not for you
It's a message for mister three
