"Confession"
In a moment's breath I can lose my sanguine grasp
Lost within a whirl of my own sadness and mania
I crave a simple kind of life with a bit of happiness
Contentment aching close and tauntingly far
I fall upon my face in the dirt time after time
Blood and tears staining my dirty cheeks
Flawlessly a walking lie again with my pain buried
Paradise is my swan song for a better future
A lament for the weakened of heart and spirit
Is anyone listening to this beautiful cry
Will anyone brush the tears and blood from my face
Do you long for me as I long for you
Living within the shadow of your heart
Hear this last gentle confession
Upon this thread of hope I cling
Pouring out the love which burns right through me
How I shed my aching tears for you
Praying for you to rouse me from this nightmare
Bound and gagged by my own expectations
I'm ready to shatter at your feet
To finally be held by someone else
Only you I crave above all else
My monotonous existence broken by the hue of your eyes
My burden lifted at your soft kiss
Warmth drowning my senses beyond comprehension
Surpassing fairytale fantasies in my mind
I thank you for all this bliss you've shown me
Just say those words I hunger for
And so I linger at your hearts relent
Resting upon the edge of sublime happiness
And the razor's edge of torment
Patiently awaiting your reply
Unable to escape from this compassion that consumes me
Forget the love lost and welcome me
