All I Ever Needed

seeking, calling, waiting
In this dissolution
Clinging to memories
Running into the arms of sorrow
Surrendering to the misery
Wanting comfort, completion
Deception wondering, lingering
All I ever needed was love
Imprisoned by anguish
Empty smiles crawling out of the dark
They call out my name, echoing
Obeying the demons of their design
There must be deliverance
All I ever needed was love
Strained by the curse of longing
Burning to find you
So the finest parts of me are hues of you
Can I disregard the ties of strangle bonds
Waiting to pledge my devotion
All I ever needed was love
