Empty faces
Nick Church 1978 (TX)
How to be in love,
Such a common thought or is it,
Waiting for answers but only getting grief,
Despite all the hard work I have fallen short,
How to be in love, it is a risky endeavor,
Personified but the relations of guilt,
Excusing myself as it's a precursor to failure,
Understanding my fear and my determination,
How to be in love has become a disease,
My head runs around in circles leaving my body in disarray,
I terrorize myself,
My worst enemy looks back in me through the mirror,
How to be in love is misery,
So if I find it, I should run.
