Broken
-by MVB
Why is it when I ask “You love me?”
You never want us to elope
But always find a way to show me
And make me feel like there was hope?
Why is it always when I watch you
It feels like heaven deep inside
But every time I’m not around you
My only friend’s the wind that cried?
Why when we have our time together
I never want the world to end
But you dismiss the words I tell you
Like they were nothing but pretend?
What can I do to make you trust me
What can I say so you’ll believe
What rules are there to be broke
To show you that my love is real?
What inquisitions can destroy me
What plague can cease my thoughts today
What catastrophic act can perish
My love to set me free from fray?
I don’t believe there is an answer
To what I want and I desire
And lonely in this world forever
I’ll wander lost until I tire.
But even when my soul will vanish
And frail body will succumb
My heart will give its last performance
For you alone, on broken drum.
