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
