Fleeting Perceptions

By Bound_In_Chains

I don’t know what I want
I don’t know what I need
The pressure is on
Will my relationships succeed?
Things are great in the beginning
Then things go askew
By a single thread I am clinging
Do my distorted thoughts change my perception of you?
Friends are ignored, lovers get dropped
Most times I feel guilty
These fleeting perceptions don’t seem to stop
 Even so, I can’t let myself act rashly
They say not to end relationships, while in emotion mind
So I try to be logical
 Try to use all the strength I can find
To push through this troubling obstacle
 I try so hard, although
It’s very plain to see
If I continue to shun them so
 I will have no one, and the blame will be on me…
