Dare/Dream.

By Aleas

What am I to love?
Who am I to hate?
Teach me how you feel
Give me just a taste.
What's it like to live
Without the fear of fate?
My promise to fulfill
I'll bend but I wont break.
      Saddened hearts will tell
      Of battles won and lost
      And tragedies that lie
      Underneath it all.
      I don't believe in hell
      Or impossible costs
      I want to make you mine
      I'll trip but I won't fall.
What am I to give?
Who am I to take?
Teach me what to feel
Or make me sit and wait,
And wonder what its like
To die in fear of fate
Your promise to fulfill
Was never yours to make.
      Brave hearts won't tell
      Of battles won and lost
      Or memories that lie
      Underneath it all.
      I can't believe in hell
      I'll pay impossible costs
      Dare dream to make you mine
      If only to take the fall.

Seems to me you've pretty much summed up the human condition, but with rare eloquence. I like the way you work words.

Holy... (insert whatever word you want to follow that). You just put my current (situation/battles/hopes/fears) into words, and the last 3 lines (of both offsets) were like that punch in the gut that makes it impossible to breathe.
