My heart fears your eruption.
All these years I have spent in oblivation;
I thought I could read the lines on your palms,
I studied your physique, pieces of your heart.

I was oft; unskilled.
There's too much I missed.

Like how you want to live your life in solitude,
And too many words make you feel blue;
Like how the world spins too fast for you.
Like how you raise your voice; it hurts me but liberates you.
