It is so strange for you are not what I thought you to be
I look into your eyes, and what am I to see
For the person you once were is not who you are today
The love we once had
It is not here to stay
For I realize who you are,
And I am the same
I love you you are,
It drives me insane
The pictures I had stored in my mind were a simple in-correction
Yet you still remain me in my brain,
You plague me like infection
I know that this can not be, for two different people is what we are
But I will want you with me
I hope your wanders don't take you far
Why I feel this pain, this sweet madness, and infection
I do not know why
It leaves me without direction
For in the morning, I will wake and you will too
I will remain in these helpless thoughts
I will still not know what's true
For the person I had pictured you, is just not what you are
The galaxies I had for us to walk across
Turned out to be a fallen star
For love is not what we thought
It seems to be a game
It is one best left unplayed
It will drive you insane
I don't know how I feel, or why I feel it for that matter
I would tell you these things
But your arrogance I wish not to flatter
So I watch you from a far, and think what could have been
I think of all my mistakes
I think of all my sins
And maybe it is these slight imperfections that kept us far apart
Maybe it is these very things
That doomed us from the start
I knew we would be broken
I knew these words
Would be best left unspoken
You dance to a drum, that has no rightful rhythm
I dance to waves of the ocean
As I crumble within them
I don't what to toy with any piece of you, for I fear there's not much left
I don't want to take your heart
For love is not theft
Why these feelings are here, I have no reply
If you ask me any questions
I have no reasons why
This is how I feel, my secret innermost thoughts
These are my duties and passions
For which I have willingly fought
So run away if you will, for I would run too
But never for one second
Question that these words are true
Because I love you, and it was not a choice for me to make
I laid myself down
Even though I saw everything was at stake
Call me a martyr for love if you will
For you racked up my pain like fines
And I paid all the bills.
