How Do You Ask a Question

How do you ask a question That you know will end in a fight That you know will breed anger But it may put to ease The sickness I feel The thoughts that plague me How do you ask a question That sits tucked away In the darkest of corners But is always present Always on the brink Of spoiling and turning things sour How do you ask a question That seems so far-fetched That makes you question yourself If you’re seeing things not there If you’re just a little crazy If maybe there’s truth to it all But I can’t deny this feeling Uneasiness that eats at me Impeding fear of getting crushed Debating whether I really want to know Because it’ll ruin everything How do you ask this question? I’ve played the role of The Fool before Being ignorant of what was happening Blinded by what I thought was love Unwilling to see the ultimate betrayal Best friend and lover….of many I won’t play The Fool again Please tell me how to ask a question That puts trust on the line That puts love on the line Before it becomes too late Before it eats me up inside So I won’t play The Fool again
