Fathom Deeps

Lost in transition
From move to move,
your eyes have me transfixed
as if we were alone

Unfortunately our room
is filled with
dying memories

Must I always be a soldier
amongst
a war of love?

Never a captain,
Never the victor.
Why do I keep
playing your game
Your selfish little game

Is it your love?
No, that's done me
wrong before.
It must be those eyes.
Transfixed, meant to reminice.
Lost again in those glaring eyes
it feels worse than letting 
me live. Letting me love.
