Mere Existance
Questions running rampant
Foremost in my mind
Needing reassurance
Security I just can't find
Lost in the confusion
As chaos reigns supreme
So hopeful yet uncertian
When nothing's as it seems
The comfort of your arms
Again, wrapped 'round me
Right now, could ease these worries
Make theses fears cease to be
I looked into the darkness
But nothing, could I find
Praying every second
Not one, did I let slip by
This quest looms so unending
Seems, forever, I've searched in vain
With all emotions failing
Conquered by the pain
I used to know the answers
To these questions in my mind
No doubts, nor fears, nor worries
Never one, could I find
But somewhere along loves journey
My faith did surely wane
I know only that I must find it
Or live, forever, with this pain
I need your love to guide me
To shield me from the cost
If only you could help me
In this search for what was lost
i fear the price we both would pay
If, at this task, I fail
Would, surely, be our hearts
Forever lost in hell
An agony beyond endurance
A pain too deep to bear
Left soulless in the wake
Screaming with despair
All alone in misery
Ever after, our souls are tainted
Stained by all the memories
That, together, we created
As empty arms grow desperate
And our hollow eyes fail to see
the bitter fear and anger
As it creeps up on you and me
Both, smothered by the pain
Discouraged by the distance
Always reaching for one last chance
Our love, fighting, for mere existance.....
