Obsession or The Way I Wish Things Were
What I want to do is purge you from myself
All of you from all of me
And move into the future, alone
Find a new purpose or
Float aimless without a home
.For eternity
But
If we are tied together in this life
and the next
and the next
and the next
If we were tied together before
In lives past
Through the ancient histories
10,000 times repeated
and repeated
Who am I
To ask you to go on without me?
Who am I
To ask myself to go on without you?
Who am I to ask?
I'm unable to forsake you
Perhaps I can ask myself now
...In this time
Plead with my soul
Persuade my heart to petition my mind
Beg
"Please, forget her."
But you cannot be separated
from the substance of my being.
You are essential.
This time was a failure
It hurts to exist here alone.
It hurts that I cannot be there for you.
It hurts that you don't hold a place for me.
It hurts that you don't see me
recognize me.
The twist of the knife...
Here, in this place, I am an imposter.
The only thing left to do?
Cut this life short
and Wait for you
in the next
