Hopes of Pleasing You

I write in hopes to please you,
I post them so everyone can now see you. 
To see the hell you put me through
and diffuse the voices that haunt me too. 

I don’t forget what I put you through, 
And I hope to recollect and think things through. 
But tonight we live in this dream together
Fastened in tight, and ready to take the ride of our life.

But the price for love doesn’t come cheap 
So tell me what it is you want from me.
I wish you would just hold me closer and talk a little lower
Because the world seems to be coming to an end

I just want to be forgiven of all my sins.
I want to see what love really is 
And feel that passion from within.

I want to feel that fire that burns out of control 
Without hearing words that just burn holes.

I want to walk the lonely streets  
And see that girl that makes my heart skip a beat.

I want to forget about the past 
And find true love that will last.

So can the past be hidden through lies and alibis or
Maybe through the attention that you crave while 
I am lying in my grave. 
For our memories last forever, 
Just like enemies fight together!
