Vanquished

Fighting halos & absurd romantic logos Trying to rid myself of this feeling This feeling of surrender Trying to rid myself of this needing This needing to surrender Afraid of what I might become If I come undone Fearing I've already pushed my love away Knowing he & I were meant to be Crying hopeful tears of regret Sighing breathless words into the wind Thinking back to what used to be The feeling of ineptitude soon creeps in Unsure of myself Uncertain about what lies within Pacing back & forth Lingering in thoughts undone Thinking, always thinking... About the man who unknowingly stole my spark Who I pushed away Preferring to live in self-pity Keeping vigil in the dark.
