A Lover's Lament

Clockwork angels control my mind,

They’ve locked me here for all time.

And maybe one day I’ll come to find,

That love is the lock that keeps me here.

Death, it tends to haunt me,

For my soul has faded darker,

Just knowing,

That growing,

Deep inside of me,

Is the flower that’s blooming,

That symbolizes us.

It’s stained blood red,

From prickled thorns,

That tore my heart,

And left me for dead.

In my eyes It’s plain to see,

That you just can’t seem to keep me.

My heart it aches,

And my doubt is loud,

It tells me to stop and just be done.

The suffering that I feel,

Can’t stop the love that’s in my heart,

Because I don’t know what I would do,

Without you.

Every day,

And every night,

I think of you,

But I can’t figure out what exactly it is that I have to do.

I can’t seem to find the right words to say,

To make it clear why I feel this way.

I don’t want to make it seem like I want to leave,

I just don’t want to feel this way.

Baby, can you tell me,

The words I wanna hear?

Because my fear is here,

And it’s oh so very real.

Please tell me that I matter,

And show me how much you really care.

Because I can only take so much ache,

That made me the way that I am today.
