Met someone new

Ideas overgrew

Reality and dreams

Mind's filled with plans and schemes

Future envisioned

Without indecision

Ringing the changes

It's like playing chess

Against your sentiment

Some ties aren't meant

You wish to superintend

You feel the need to command

Getting acquainted

Giving it a hundred

Opening up

Only to be misjudged

Fear of rejection

You strive for comprehension

Try to give it names

Debilitating mind games

Against your sentiment

Some ties aren't meant

You wish to superintend

You feel the need to command

Tried to pretend

There's no resentment

But you flee

Took it personally

Sometimes it's rough

You need to be tough

Lonesomeness

Plays chess

Lonesomeness

With your sentiment

Some ties aren't meant

You wish to superintend

You feel the need to command

Solitude is back

You see everything in black

Darkness surrounds

Thoughts hound

You should ask yourself more often

Do you actually like this person

Or do you want the satisfaction

Of being liked by them

And then got attached

Made you think you want

And are too much

You loved with all your heart

Would've never been enough

Would've never been enough

You deserve love
