As Is
AS IS 26
As I sit by waiting for you to return.
My heart loses sight because without the blood my eyes would start to burn.
Memories of you gone often bruise my chest.
Feelings since that have passed but others only manifest.
In this sympathy like state that only causes pressure.
Heartache wouldn't hurt if only I didn't test her.
Now let them see what has really come of this.
A truly lost soul with no wish except for a last kiss.
A kiss that could wake the dead and starve yourself for nights.
Lose the will to breathe and end all internal fights.
As is, is what I speak of.
Dreaming of that day when I first found true love.
Never promising the day but only waiting for night.
Crouched by my window breathing in remaining light.
To secure the surface so my mind can take steps.
To ensure stability so my heart wont recess.
