Silly boy
Silly boy may you never know
the secrets that I hold
may you never hear them said
after you've grown old
bringing pain in my heart
it all seems so vast
how could I have known
these feelings still would last
as I go to bed every night
my pillow I do cuddle
these dreams bring to me
tears enough to puddle
you held the door open wide
and invited me across
the space i have not tread
since my last love loss
as thrilled as I had become
I forgot to see ahead
the reasons you might have had
to open the door instead
blame you now I cannot
for trapping me here
for you made me brave that step
and swallow what I fear
love is not the safest bet
in any circumstance
think of what I could have missed
if I hadnt taken a chance
you may hold my heart now
though you closed the door
I will heal as time moves on
for what life holds in store
