Where is My Joy

Broken hearts search for their desire
Amongst the broken bodies littered in their world
Where is the angel of my life?
Why has she not come to give me joy?
Take the halo from my head
I will pay for this love
Take my tears as payment for now
Later I will shed my blood for your pleasure
Why can't I have an angel to call my own?
How can I go through this place without a companion?
What is the toll for this sunshine in my cell?
Pass me the flame and let me light the wick in my soul
Let my heart feel the warmth that I cannot provide it
Listen to the rain of my tears
They flood the world around me  
Yet nothing grows in this place of flesh and bone
Change the vessel and let me ride with hope
Far away from all of this darkness
Where is the sympathy I have seen in the beauty of recreation?
Has my suffering been only to amuse and not for absolution?
Take the shadow that stalks me at every tick of the clock
To remind me of the finite days left
In my cracked hour glass
Free me from the desire to abandon the fight
I do not wish to travel alone anymore
Give me a companion to sew my words of love upon their heart
Let it grow joy in this broken vessel
The joy I see everyone else's life
