Fits of Rage Under Endless Stars
It seems to me that I must to let you live your life
Or I will destroy you and bring you strife
Watching everything we built together
turn to dust,
burn like feathers
The thought of losing you cuts me deep
And the promises crumble on your lips
And burn my eyes when I sleep
I made love to conquer death
Each time I look at you, I catch my breath
I created death to conquer your love
What I feel for you cannot be undone
It is all that is below And all that is above
Please don’t hate me
I'm drowning in an ocean of despair
that was not of your making
My hunger knows no end
And I will keep on taking
Its time for you to go now
you have to keep your head above water
and save yourself from
drowning in my depths
Tonight I sleep alone in the desert
And under endless stars
I ebb and flow in fits of rage
And scratch around in the dusk
To scavenge another bone for my cage
You should walk away
I won't follow you anymore
What I remember of your presence burns me to the core
No matter how close we get, I will always be out of reach
And this lesson I need to learn was never yours to teach
Or I will destroy you and bring you strife
Watching everything we built together
turn to dust,
burn like feathers
The thought of losing you cuts me deep
And the promises crumble on your lips
And burn my eyes when I sleep
I made love to conquer death
Each time I look at you, I catch my breath
I created death to conquer your love
What I feel for you cannot be undone
It is all that is below And all that is above
Please don’t hate me
I'm drowning in an ocean of despair
that was not of your making
My hunger knows no end
And I will keep on taking
Its time for you to go now
you have to keep your head above water
and save yourself from
drowning in my depths
Tonight I sleep alone in the desert
And under endless stars
I ebb and flow in fits of rage
And scratch around in the dusk
To scavenge another bone for my cage
You should walk away
I won't follow you anymore
What I remember of your presence burns me to the core
No matter how close we get, I will always be out of reach
And this lesson I need to learn was never yours to teach

Breaking up is the most hardest thing for us to do but yet we must do it if we are to keep on living I feel your pain as I hear your voice speak to the depth of my heart and soul for it is definitely true what they say it is easy to find someone to love but it's even harder to walk away from the drama of the stress of Love

"No matter how close we get, I will always be out of reach
And this lesson I need to learn was never yours to teach"
Though this may be about heartbreak, I also like that there is resilience and strength in this stanza, understanding that there is always a lesson to learn.
