I drift in the silence
waiting on one
who may set me free
What will happen
if I just let things go
and take them as they come?
Don't push, want, need,
hope, or dream,
and just be?
I don't know which way is up
which way is down
or anything in between
I know that I hang on
by a fragile grasp
on an even more fragile web
A web made up of dreams,
hopes, lies, and unreality
they are all mine to bear
The dreams and hopes
have little substance anymore
so many have been crushed
The lies are the ones I tell myself
the unreality the one I live
day to day as I try to find my way
Losing faith in people
in society, in the world
hour by hour, minute to minute
I say what I mean
and mean what I say
how many of you can say the same?
I wear my heart and emotions
on my sleeve, though it hurts
I can't be any other way
One day there may come
someone who understands
and won't take advantage of the fact that I'm easy to read
Am I naive? Why can I not see
what others will do to me?
Why can't I see they don't care?
Wanted, Needed, Loved
Adored, these things I'm not
but it's my own fault
Giving myself to those who don't,
can't, or won't care
makes me grow colder
I can't continue sleep walking
through this life
I have to live
I have to Feel, See,
Hear, Experience
everything I can
I only have this one chance
in this life time
to be me
I await you
Love me, Need me, Want me
Free me, Kiss me, Kill me
Free my heart
Awaken me
Take my soul
Set me free
Touch me as if I'm the only one that matters
Love me to death
