An Unopened Book
Where was I?
Where was I? When I was falling apart.
Why didn't I try to save my breaking heart?
What was I doing? What had me distracted?
What stopped me, when I should have reacted?
How did I let this Happen to me?
Abandon what I so truly believe.
What made me turn away?
Or held back what I needed to say.
What made me decide to choice this path?
What made me cry instead of laugh?
Why didn't I see what I needed to see?
Why didn't listen to my heart and believe?
Why didn't I stop when I saw where I'd end up.
What took control and said I had enough.
Will I ever pull myself together?
Will I recognize myself when I get there?
Will I like myself, would my self like me?
Will I believe in what I believe?
When will I find out and know the truth?
I'll know when I find you.
