how do i put up a mask over a tear stained face ?
how do i pick up and leave without a trace?
serious questions without being answered too
and you don't understand you're the cause of it all do you?
i am tired of giving pieces, pieces and more pieces of myself and leaving none for me
i'm tired of constantly feeding someone so greedy
you take and take until your pockets are full
you snatch you grab and you pull
when there's nothing leftover am i simply just trash?
something to burn and left to ash?
or will i be a souvenir
something for you to have, but not something dear?
i promise myself that he was my last
but i gave it one more try and here i am, with you, STILL stuck in my own past
different person, different location, different race
but it's as if you all share the same fucking face
but when i take all the love i gave you and give it to another
will you then turn into the man i want you be? i wonder
when i comfort someone else the way i comfort you
will you then do the things i want you to do?
because don't get me wrong i know my worth and i know my value
but i tried again and again, only for you
i yearn for a love i've read in the books i admire and adore
i yearn for a love so heavy and abundant that it makes my heart sore
i yearn for a love that causes tears to stem only from joy and free of pain
i yearn for a love that drives my crazy mind; sane
i yearn for a love without warning, without lust just mind and soul
I yearn for a love to return all the pieces of myself i gave out; and make me whole
