Grant Me Not

By cre

Grant me not caring
Because caring hurts
And I still haven't learned
What it's all worth
Grant me not hoping
Because hope is a lie
When all that was good
Has somehow just died
Grant me not knowing
Because knowing is pain
And I'd rather not watch
While I swirl down the drains
Grant me not loving
Because love isn't true
It was just an excuse
For getting lost inside you
Grant me not memories
Because remembering kills
And the soul left inside me
Grows tiny and still
Grant me not living
Because life is a sham

In the end grant me nothing
Because nothing I am.
