Why am I the way I am?

Why do I hold you so close

But hang you so far away

Keep you an inch off the post

I want to be more than friends

But I don’t want to have you yet

I want you to find someone to love

But I smile when love isn’t met

I’m not who you deserve right now

I guess I wanted some more time

But I know you yearn for a hand

But I pray it out of your life

I don’t know why I’m this way

I’m a monster thats keeps your cage

I want you to love you more than ever

But I’m a monster who is too afraid
