no goodbyes

 
I am nothing without you
a whisp of smoke dancing out there, lonely and out of tune
sacred heart don't give up on me
I will become the companion you desire
the one you dreamt into being with your artists eye

twisted redeemer giving value to my life
I sing silent lullabies to your soul
kissing you gently I'm still here
year after year waiting for you to love me
more than I love myself

Sorrow's child of the dawn
I ache in the knowing
you can't trust me with your heart
it hurts to admit
you've tested me and I failed you

will I ever grow up?

there is a flaw in me
vanity corrupts my soul
and I realize you made a world around me
or a world apart from me
your solid kingdom by the sea

I was no good from the start
but you had my affections
you held my attention

I weep in devotion
self centered to the core

how long did you cry?

wondering when I would awaken
my beautiful lover over the eternities
your glorious light makes me cry

I sigh inside me
wondering why you still love me
