Watching my salvation retreat within you

By Crashoverride

I want her to want me
I need her to want me
It is a matter of salvation
Life and death while I'm still left here with nothing but my breath wasted
However the only thing keeping me from getting what I want is how badly I want it; my hearts racing
This circular disaster has lead me from the peaks of heaven to the depths of hell
So often I walk away from our talks with nothing more than a story to tell
When I start realizing it is when things start changing
Breaking free from my chains knowing there's no one else to blame but me
I walk with a cane because I cannot do it by myself what a pity
Walk with me
But I don't want yours, not even partly
I just want you to be whole
Wholly significant and complete with the holes and rips in your jeans
The hour glass of time continues to move on while I watch it all fall wondering when it will be time for my fate and I to meet; for the I to dissolve
If desire is the only thing keeping me from achieving my goals
Then I desire to stop desiring
Within the recesses of my mind, I wish to extinguish this fire but it's inspiring
However that just changes this vicious circle
Not solving anything; slowly moving at the pace of a turtle
It's not a race but I hurt when I pull
What the answer is I may never know
But for now I'll sit back, relax and enjoy the show
