Chapter Three

The world spins, it keeps spinning
It reaches my head, when I think of you
And time ticks, it keeps ticking
But it comes to a halt, when I'm with you


A fountain of joy, I revel in

But why do I sink into an ocean of pain
When unfolds, the thought of wanting you


I've entered a new phase, discovering revelations
Acquaintances with thoughts that aren't new
But each time they came afloat
They were always hushed, subdued


Why now, do they float about
Teasing me, hauntingly, following me around
Raising another army of storms
Provoking me to make a sound


And I hush again, but often in vain
For ever so often, it spills out
The more I try to hide, the more it shows

And it appals me just as much
For what never held as much weight
