It's a cloudy mist

that makes my vision hazy.

I'm trying to see clearly,

but my eyes can't focus through the thickness.

There's a barrier built up

separating my heart from my mind.

I'm trying to think practically

without interruption of my feelings.

If I listen to my heart,

we'll be fighting for a lost cause.

I need to be the voice of reason

to save us both the heart and pain.

It's not easy

covering love with a veil;

but love needs to be a choice,

and I can't choose this.
