Left From Center - Nick Carter

Too Much to Ask
Held prisoner by demons, surrounded by pain
Tourtured by a past no one can see.
Silently screaming, yet never to be heard.
And visions of a future that can never be.

Invisible walls they surround me,
Stubbornly refusing to crumble with time.
An ocean of tears does not heal me,
As my eyes see what can never be mine.

Stranded on the shores of Forever.
Solitude my eternal companion.
Eternity's icy grasp teases and taunts,
Denying me his touch, his warmth, his protection.

Abandoned and forgotten, laying alone.
Haunted by an unfullfilled wish.
Wanting to love him, yet frozen by fear,
And the reality that I will never be his.

Only wanting to be wanted, loved but not broken,
To move forward and never look back.
Someone to break these walls and release these demons.
But then somethings are just too much to ask.
