Shallow Man

3am and I’m ready to go.

I wish the two years here

Had gone to slow,

But they didn't.

It's over quicker than I’d say your name.

Your voice lingers on,

It makes me shake.

Wish it didn't.

I leave a hollow man,

Just the outside looking half content,

Given half a chance.

I feel stupid.

I’m just a shallow man,

Finding reasons not to say 'I do's,

Or 'I love you too's.

Guess I’m broken.

You will change me

More than anyone can ever quite explain.

But I can't bare to change.

You will change me

More than anyone could ever quite predict.

But I can't bare to stay.

An hour pass and I still can't bare

To just leave you there in your bed.

You seem peaceful.

I turn my back as you toss and turn.

My feet reach the door,

My stomach churns.

Don't look back now.
