Keep Me

Drifting away, a worthless slave to fantasy's demise Not a very uncommon feeling to feel today Reality is filled with evil deception and merciless lies Not a very uncommon thing to say these days I could not heal the scars within my heart I could not see myself at first, tearing apart I could be high or low in your embrace once more I could be higher or below your shadow's gravity galore Crying is a waste of time… Lying is too late in its prime I'm stronger than a million men Oh wow, how time flies Stronger than your lies have been In my starlit, sea eyes, I will shed tears of shameless joy again I'm saying hello to your goodbyes Taunted by your rejections Haunted by your reflections… Starlit eyes of mine, Will you ever shine? Starlit eyes of a different kind and a quite unique mind Will you please shine upon me until I become blind? Shards of you chain me to corruption's hold You told me I was bold enough to face the cold My successful progress has made you jealous Well, I'm sorry nonetheless...can you be happy regardless? Enlighten my eyes that dim Delightfulness is a day away The sky is warm, yet so grim Distressfulness does what it may I will stay here Without fear… I will hold you dear For a century of cheer I will stay here Leave me not behind, I fear I will forever shed this tear In my starlit eyes of Aphradere I will stray away From the wicked winds of dismay and the moonlight of diminishing disarray... Drift away today Into the potent fires of my desire and I pray you catch me before being led astray Fallen deep below the ashes of my past Amber is the color of my burning, churning soul My feet has fallen fast into trouble; alas, My love, I have done you wrong, so the truth I let unfold Seeking a solace, solemn-less outlet I am bleeding out remorse beyond regret Unavoidable drum beats in the dead of night Ring in my ears constantly and it gives me fright I'm unbearably upset… I need another outlet… Play me like a piano of passionate bliss I remember you, shimmering above like stars While I'm down here, picking at past scars... Play me like a violin of vital vivaciousness I have met up with misery Deliver me...from grief's glee Let my universe eyes kiss your own Let us both step foot into the unknown Follow me...follow me...come here please… Falling away from fear and embracing a life at ease - That is what's meant to be… For you and me possibly… Feeling numb in my lonesome cranium, But our heart, together, is pure titanium This is what remains of us - A fragment of faithfulness Swaying away, a hopeless butterfly to fantasy's daunting demise Not a very uncommon imagery to embark on without hitting the brakes You will see that I'm broken and precious in galaxies of eyes Now, that is an incredible, sacred treasure to keep for healing's sake It's your choice whether or not to keep me… If you lose me, you lose me for an eternity
