What Else?

By Ocean of Truth

Laying here, still and stiff
Waiting for you, just as it usually is
Then you get here
And you leave
Me alone, with no one to feel
Emotionless and empty
Like a day with no sun

Bleak and barren
My soul does feel
Without you here
I, do fear
That you won't ever
Let loose my heart
And embrace my love
But you won't
Because I was in the wrong

My mistakes do haunt me
More than you'll ever know
I'm less than content
And have nothing to show

So why do you seek others?
When I am right here?
Hoping and waiting
For the dust in our lives to clear
Before that happens
You'll surely kick your feet
And make my heart skip a beat
As the dust slowly settles
I can't help but meddle

For now I fear
That you won't be sated
Until you have my blood

So what else must I go through?
What else must I do?
To get that look
(the one I desire)
The one of love
Our fire

I'll set it ablaze
For you and for me
And together we'll play a symphony

If this isn't your desire
Your one true love
Your fire
Then it should be over
And done
For the better

I shall fight
Til my wits are lost
Until thereĀ is no longer light
And my life is gone
But... at what cost?

For what gain!?
Years of mental strain
And anger developed
All the while you sit
Lost and enveloped
In your second life
Tearing us apart
With but a dull knife

This is over-rated
This monster, We created

I'll cut off its head
Right here, with a volley
And hang it on my wall
To remind me of my folly
And if I should ever
Again have the gall
I'll jump from my high horse
And die from the fall
