How can it be,
That this heart is pounding
Why is it so,
That this darkness is my heart surrounding

How can it be,
That sometimes I just can’t breathe
Why is it so,
That some nights I just can’t sleep

How can it be,
That I get so confused sometimes
Why is it so,
That I can calm down because of a certain scent

How can it be,
That I want the whole world to know
But why is it so,
That I can’t tell a soul

How can it be,
Visions are shocking my eyesight
You hold my hand
You pull me close
You smile at me
You call my name
“I love you”
You stroke my hair
You touch my arm
I still don’t understand

How can it be,
That I want you closer still
When I’m already in your arms
Why is it so,
That I’m always wanting you near
