When

When you came into my life, 
I was alone and desolate. 
...boring and plain.

When you were my world,
I was happy...with everything
we brought out the fire in eachother. 

We brought out the wild thing
that lives inside us all...
that few people ever truly know.

When you left my arms
I cried for nights on end
an'  you never had a clue

I had to act strong when i was not
I had to be hard when i could not
I was w/ other people just to spite you.

And again and over two more times
I let you back in my life
just to let you smash my spirit again. 

I believe your false promises
only in hope you do not lie

I believe your false promises because
if I had not faith in anything else, I would die.

Endlessly

I am working endlessly at restoring myself.
Though I know I wont be whole anytime soon. 
I want my virtue back...I want my spirit back. 
Though I know I wont be that person again 
anytime soon. 

So, I am working endlessly at restoring 
what you have left here for so long
after all the bonding and all the stunts
what you have left has become wrong. 
WE were wrong.
