Emotional Time Bomb.

I'm an emotional booby trap
Ready to be set of
I'm like a time bomb neat and rapped
And really I've had enough

I've taken a beating from my heart
Honestly I am in pain
I know I didn't play the part
But I screamed your name in vain

I'm like an illiterate learner in detention
I couldn't spell my name
Your eyes left my world in suspension
I lied and felt no shame

I saw your name across the sky
And suddenly looked away
I learnt you can truly deceive the eye
And not have a price to pay.
