Him

His voice sounds like a song
Lingering in my thoughts
I know, thinking this way is wrong
But I'm just waiting to be caught

Those lyrics are playing in my head
The chorus on repeat,
The rythm echoing in dread
These sounds I hear so sweet

Singing texts about love
I listen closely to the truth
And the story of our fate
Probably the end of my youth

He's unattainable for me
Like a toy I can't get
And if only he could see
My feelings for him yet

-

Oh lonely soul
When are you whole?
Oh empty heart
When did it start?

In this maze of desire
There is no exit in sight
As it burns down in fire
Shining through the night

-

He sees me as a friend
But the way he acts
It all seems like a lie in the end
And I'm not sure how to react

Why is he already taken?
Why didn't I meet him before?
I know I'm not mistaken
He thinks of me as a bore

I want him, but I can't have him
He doesn't want me, nor need me
My world without him is grim
Why won't he listen to my plea?

My first love had to be him
He showed me a world unknown
The chance of me winning him is slim
But I just can't stay on my own

-

Oh lonely soul
When are you whole?
Oh empty heart
When did it start?

This cage, a safe haven
It's key is long gone
Surrounded by black ravens
Waiting for the near dawn

-

In my dreams he's mine
Only there can I be by his side
I thought maybe that's a sign
That maybe only if I tried

I could have him in the end
But instead I watch him leave
The time praying that I spent
Finally resulting in only grief

And I watch him from afar
Being happy with his peers
The silent chords of a guitar
Accompanying my silent tears

And I listen to his song
Playing lonely in my head
Hoping I'll keep strong
As my heart starts to shred
