Tying Myself to You

Tying myself to you
I cut myself to bleed
You are the death of me
I go on loving you still

Exit my head
Enter my soul
I don't comprehend
The strangeness of you
Completing me

Loving you is strange
And adored by me throughout
Oh no it's you again
As it's always been

You came to rob me
Of what I would freely give
There is no thrill in that
All the fun is gone

So I must leave you now
You must go elsewhere
Cut off relations
Numbness stops the pain
Till I can be with you again

Shutting out the world
Because of my cumbersome ways
And I know I can
Never be your friend
Because now I am a fiend
And cynical and not myself

You have done this
Witnessed the end of me
And the beginning of
Someone else
Not myself

You stiched up an empty hole
In myself
One thing you left out
Was you

I am an artist now
My canvas is myself
The only place my emotions go
They stay with me

Feeling no more pain now
I think I see joy again
Stepping back and looking
At my masterpiece

Don't think
Don't worry
Just smile
