The lines I dare not cross
Encircle me, a ruthless noose
Choking on feelings
Like a giant placebo
I only think I can handle it.

You have a beauty
I cannot be a part of
I always watch the rainbow from a distance
While you refract colors to blind a million faces
And laugh to lift my feet off the ground.

I wish I could deem you unworthy of my words
Because I'm weary of them, myself
But the truth is
you deserve each one,
and it is I who sit,
unworthy of you.
