Circle of Love

I hear you
The riddle
The silence of your broken heart speaks
So playful
So hateful
The silence of the lonely dark is you

I’d save you
Awake you
But fearful love would take me down too
Taking me through
I’m over you
But my mirror still has nothing left to do

There’s no more pain
Only a name
Only the thought of life’s game
Holding a flame
Igniting the shame
No more care for life as it becomes vain
No more care for love, no care for the rain

Breathing in
Blissful sin
Blissful fun it happily begins
Breathe it out
I can’t shout
Please help me see why I am without
Just tell me what this is about

Well I love you
I need you
You can help me feel something again
Obsession
Deception
Make me feel as though I’m still sane
Only in blame
Hold me my shame
There’s only me and death, but at least I feel pain
This happens over and over again
