Empty Handed

As I stand here I feel so empty handed 
Broken hearted and hopelessly stranded   

All the words are building in me 
Pounding under my skin and screaming to be let free   

My feet are cemented to the ground
Opening my mouth, I try but cannot make a sound   

I am fighting my bodies fervent urge to leave 
Because moments like this make it so difficult to believe   

You’re standing close enough so I can hear and see 
But when I reach my hand out, you turn and flee   

You draw me close enough to feel secure in your arms 
Then push me away, test my trust and set off my alarms   

Half my body is telling me to run away 
The rest of me is fighting , saying I have to stay   

I honestly hoped maybe in time you could be the one for me 
Thinking maybe time would create the possibility   

I drop to the ground and decide to let it all flow out 
Ive been silent for so long, now I am about to shout  

Its in my nature to do whatever I need to do to fix this tonight 
But when I look I your eyes I see that you’re the one not willing to fight   

So is it right to trust me heart or follow my head? 
Do I stay in front of you or deicide to run instead?
