You and Me

How can one be so blind with working eyes?
The answer to my heart was in my sight
A glistening girl without shame nor lies
But now she is gone, she has taken flight

Oh, the strings of harped heart lay ever silent
A curse that originates within me
Sometimes hope stirs tunes, sudden and violent
But then it stops again with reality

Can I surrender to the bows of love?
So I can escape the onslaught of shame
I wish I could fly away like a dove
I do not wish to remember your name

But how could I forget my few blessings?
Aphrodite had mercy and gave me you
I know it’s pointless, but I’ll keep fighting
Maybe we could withdraw our prior adieu

The trenches have been dug, both sides will stay
Past and future fiercely fight with fervor
One fires with my mistakes and dismay
One aims with a sight without endeavour

Love is complex, why can\'t it be simple?
I lay awake and think of what I\'ve done
There isn\'t a moment I don\'t cripple
Sink to my knees, pain weighs over a ton

I wish I could lie and say I\'m fine
But my love for her is undying flame
My sanity stretches as thin as twine
My heart longs for her, does she feel the same?

Is life even worth living without her?
I feel like half of me is missing now
Filling the abyss can only occur
If I could have her, but I don\'t know how

There isn\'t a day that goes by when I
Want to give up, and leave it all behind
But I cannot do that, I will not die
I can see her now, I\'m no longer blind

I see her gorgeous eyes, I see her smile
I can imagine her beautiful hair
Her countenance, it\'s always so docile
These memories are almost too much to bare

I remember her courage and sweetness
She\'s a fighter at heart, a friend to all
She saw me for who I was, nothing less
It\'s time I see me, reality calls

She needs me, the guy she met that first night
The sweet boy who made sure she wasn\'t alone
The guy who stayed up with her until light
Because he didn\'t want her on her own

I\'m finding him now, the process is slow
But soon enough, he will arise and live
And when he does, he\'ll be gentle like snow
He will find her and rekindle their love

But for now, I am a boat lost at sea
Searching the waters of love for signs of you and me
