I Lay in My Bed

I lay in my bed,
Thinking of everything you've said,
Many tears are shed,
Falling to the floor like lead.
And my heart is like a shore,
Feelings ebb and flow across the floor,
You are like that half-open door,
Leaving me just wanting more.
But you won't let my feelings be,
It's like my confusion is something you need,
My contemplation's what you eat,
It's my feelings I don't believe.
