Unrequited Love

Now I see the depths of this despair
It's pulling me in and tearing me apart
Till I'm crying to my heart

Why oh why is this magical mind machine
Begging me to make the most of it
When all it does is tear me down

And even in this beautiful gown
I feel so empty, crowded by this air
Which collapses in and makes me void

And then I ask, "Why— Oh why me?"
And then it twists and turns
Until I'm on my knees begging for mercy

"Please —Oh Please— Release me!"
