Excruciating Pain

A hundred things on my mind
For a few people in my life
I have to tell them those things
But thing is... I can't

Hesitation on my part
A feeling that I'll be laughed at
Or still worse
It'll fall on deaf ears

I can't tell them
For it'll hurt
Not because its rude or hurtful
Just because there's too much love

A love they cease to understand
A love they choose not to recognize
A love that makes them feel obliged
For reasons of their own

I know not what to do
I know not what to say
I need to let out my thoughts
And this is how I do it
