About love, or lack there of. The yearning to have love and to feel secure in love.
Ache of a Lonely Heart

Ache
What a sorry life I lead
Lost from eternity
For the whims of myself.

To boldly go
Where we all have before
Helps me not
And only leads me more pain.

Left alone to die
To be consumed by my soul
My voice cries
And I can not stop falling.

This spectrum
These emotions
I can only beg their demise
But I am addicted.

Like the prospect of sin
Hell seems farfetched
And alone I stand
Dismembered and bleeding.

The crimson cakes quickly
To run through cold veins
And only I know
The truth in the core of my shadow

This ever-ticking time bomb
On an infinite timer
Damned to live in fear
Of the day it explodes

My heart beating faster
Can not hide in my chest
But caged like an animal
With lost hope

Death brings more woe
My essence no peace
Yet I will not admit
My own needs

So to a mountain I gather
Wings beating hard
But loss of love
Means loss of strength

I think I can
But I can not
And slowly I descend
And land upside-down

The woe it brings me
This stupid game
Trapped in loathing
But loving it all the same

For the truth is
In this simple strife
This perverse way of living
That I am in love
