One To Cry With

I have seen the breaking point…still waiting
I have reached the end of patience…with nothing
I have seen the world go ‘round…in absence

I want to be sad with you 
So you’ll know when I’m happy
I want to cry on your shoulder 
Melt into your body 
Feel your steady heartbeat 
Pumping life back into my eyes

I would let the intense greyness take over
Only for a moment so that you may glimpse 
Into this strange mind of mine
And I can tell you how tragic our feelings are
How I have doomed myself and us 
To such a painfully loving place

I would hate to see you with someone else
But I would still destroy myself to see you happy
As much as I hope and believe it won’t come to it
A part of me has already accepted the possibility 
That I could lose you…all of you
But I would have to tell you to know

If you had the choice between
Everything you wanted and everything I had to give
Could you settle?
