You are so close to me,
We are one,
I feel when you love,
I feel when you hurt
I feel the many ways,
In which you torture yourself,
In which you torture us
You are so gentle,
So loving, and so pure,
It hurts me so,
To watch you bleed over and over,
To feel you bleed
You cannot help it,
You need to love,
You need to feel,
You need to heal
Why do you torment me this way?
Time after time,
It hurts me just the same,
Yet I allow it to continue,
Always following you in,
To places filled with pain,
Places filled with regret.
I let you fool me,
Even when I know it is foolish to do so,
I want to believe your naïve truth,
And I want to feel your love.
I know you so well,
My foolish lover,
With whom I share my secrets,
And I still believe in you,
Even after all these years,
And all the anguish we’ve endured.
It’s been so long since I’ve felt your elation,
Maybe it’s time we give it a rest,
And let fate have a go,
My dear lonely heart.
