I think of you when I don't want to
Thoughts so real and haunting
It hurts to dream... to even think
Fantasy chills my body to its depths
Wishes ripping me to shreds
I was fine until I knew your love
I was numb to my every emotion
Then my soul realized its passion
Suddenly aware of why it was frozen
Of all it was missing... and it ached
Now I have lost the woman I was before you
You came into my life, filling the void
Then you left with my spirit trapped within you
The black holes of my past alive once again
To swallow me whole... to render me empty
Yet I am stronger for this destruction
I wear the hardened remains of my shattered heart
Boldly, like some indestructable suit of armor
The scars still bleeding for those who can love to see
The walls of my inner fortress are higher now
But a candle burns constantly in the window
Shining through the pain in my eyes
I wonder who, if anyone, can tear down my guards...
