Forever Longing

We're coming to the edge now, 
The walls are caving in, 
Things are getting darker, 
I'm ready to give in, 

My passion and my spirit, 
In the end was not enough, 
To keep from getting broken, 
From taking it so rough, 

I wish I would accept it, 
I wish I could move on, 
But I just can't help the feeling, 
I did something wrong, 

The light is almost gone now, 
Where there was fire's now absent flame, 
My heart forever longing, 
My soul taking the blame.
