The drum roll is pounding in the depths of my mind,

Another moment passed and I am surrounded by the dark.

I feel you deep within my being; you have tattooed my soul,

Thoughts of you sting deep, I am frantic and without you I have no self control.

I am nothing more than a shadow of the proud man I used to be,

When you were here you made me feel almost important, yes it felt so good.

You always found a way to bring out the best in me, even in the darkest hours I had faced,

Now all that’s left is the memory of your soft skin against my tense and tortured body, You will not be erased.

Light the way now beautiful, I have been running to you all this time believe me,

Why can I not make you see that I only wanted you forever, No I don’t think it’s too much to ask.

The blackest skies could never keep me from wanting you; I have learned to control the rain,

I have experienced many things in life, but you were the only one to strike me with such a heavy pain.

When the sulphur strikes and the flame has long extinguished, I will still be wanting you right here,

I must have been a fool not to follow your lead; you only wanted to make a life to be happy of.

Instead I pushed you out and locked myself inside my shallow hell, hating the choices I had made,

Please understand i am a conflicted man and needed to release my demons, all I ever really wanted was for you to stay.

Look at me now, the broken mirror has me looking so dramatic as I pick the shards of glass from my hands,

I never expected to fall so hard for that one person that never should have got this close.

Now I am suffering slowly and have not one idea on how to shake your silent eyes and subtle kiss,

Begging you not to let go but you have had your doubts for far too long, If only I could see you now I’d show you just how much you have been missed.

Carry me through now, the wind is picking up and the tears stain my eyes,

I don’t want to change what is missing I want the impact to change the course of the earth.

Why must you walk away from me just when I learned to keep my focus?

I know I did my share of wrong and I’m ready to except it, you and I were meant to be forever and I will not let this break.

Memories fade but this irregular beat in my heart reminds me that you were just that good,

I could beg and plead and make a seen but I would much rather take action and make sure your never again to be hurt.

I want you within my arms, I have lost my will but your beautiful eyes light my way back home,

The sky is crawling from the dark and now the morning rises, you and I were meant forever so its time to come back and make this house a home.
