The Cost
Folder:
Love/Obsession i have inside a memory
intangible yet clear to me
something i once possessed
thoughts leaving me depressed
recurring regrets harbor a guilt
a thing that should not have quit
hollow shell filled with remorse
how i know things could be worse
even with this thought in mind
it doesn't make easier the time
that i spend in thought of you
a painful thing that i can't do
memories that hurt the most
seeing a visage, transparent ghost
speaks to me the sweet words
"i love you, baby", all i heard
i long to grasp the intangible
a task that is unmanageable
so i lay in bed dead
running hate through my head
a despise i hold for you
for all that i can't undo
to hold you in my arms
take the bullets, all the harm
i would die to know you live
it is my life i would give
toss myself into the abyss
this hollow life i woudn't miss
just to know your happiness
would give me a longing bliss
even in hell with its pain
it's your love that would reign
i would die for your love
would accept no other dove
i could rhyme all the thoughts
that spin in my head caught
but you are no more near
than the distant thunder i hear
in the storm i try to find
a relief to ease my mind
ray of light to warm my heart
wishing for the clouds to part
to reveal yourself to my soul
to please fill this abyssmal hole
but these cries go unheard
yet i am not deferred
it is your love i will requaint
to this journey i have no complaint
it is you love that will save
even at the cost of the grave...
