Endless
My heart is pounding
Filled with so much love
Overflowing with a desire for release
from this prison that I have sentenced myself to
These walls constructed so long ago
have served to shield me
from the dangers of the darkness
I miss the feeling of an embrace
by someone I trust, someone I love
Someone whose need for me extends beyond
the fabricated words falling from their mouth
or their nerve endings filled with want
I keep saying that I feel numb
but that's not true
I feel pain, I feel alone, I feel unwanted,
I feel indifferent to need, lust,
and love
It's from spending too much time in the darkness
searching, always searching
It chips away at your hope
Each time I walk into the abyss
they flock to me
Their hearts are so filled with want
eyes filled with fear and doubt
they ask me to take it away
to free them from their chains
I hold the key in the palm of my hand
and they beg me to use it
What they don't know is,
this key will only work once
Somewhere in the abyss, she awaits
She believes in me
She knows I'm coming for her
but if she doesn't find
the light inside herself
I won't see her through the darkness
and wander forever
