Fine China
You were wrong
I’m not as strong as I seem
I’m as fragile as fine china
You surprise me with this intense look
Like you know more about me than I know my self
You say things like, “There’s beauty that resides in you, you just don’t know it.”
I guess subconsciously I wanted to show it
I swear I’m about to explode with all these unwanted feelings I have for you
I want to be standoffish. Like the cold hearted girl that never gets hurt.
Everyone knows that trait comes from getting your heart flung in the dirt
But in retrospect, that girl just wants to be loved
I guess that’s somehow like me. Ha, Story of my life.
I’m scared of lonely but I’m more terrified of love.
Being vulnerable
Being exposed
I let so many good people go
I pointed so many potential guys to the door
Unable to trust
Unable to commit
Maybe I’m a coward, but this is just how I feel.
Maybe I’ll meet that one guy who would change my ways
Maybe I’ll learn to love, love
But “maybe” will forever be a maybe
