Don't Ask, Don't Tell

I’ve got a question that’s

Been weighing on my mind,

But the strength and courage

I can’t seem to find

To relieve the burden

That’s turned my heart blind.

The meaning of your words

I analyze and speculate,

The message in your touch,

I love so much I hate—

But in the end, I have no control

And think to leave it all to fate.

But when Destiny calls,

You can’t rest on your laurels,

You have to fight for your life

And live by your morals,

Search the entire reef

For that most perfect coral.

But what if that coral

Simply doesn’t exist?

Do I search the entire ocean,

Or do I desist?

Do I hold back my question,

Or should I persist?

I choose to hold back

And I continue to pray,

For hope, even in confusion,

Is enough to outweigh

The possibility of the truth

Not going my way.
