Love or Death

I always wanted it, I could feel it inside,

It was the one thing, that kept me alive,

My chest goes numb , I know that it's near,

But I have no worries, no sorrow, no fear,

So what are you waiting for, sit down and stay,

you never do, you always go a stray,

By coming and going, you think this is fun,

Now I may be stupid, but I am not dumb,

I knew you were leaving, and not coming back,

But I will not stop you, not dead in your tracks,

We been there before, and we will be there again,

one day you will stay, and i will hold you within.

This is very good. I like

This is very good.

I like how the symmetry, between love and death work throughout the whole thing really.


Its got some powerfull emotions attached to both a longing for a something thats never quite there and for a release from that same longing. A release that you can't quite bring about yourself because your halfway between them.

At the same time it has this great desperate hopeful feeling to it that is so down to earth so to speak.

Well anyways im glad you shared this it was wonderfull to read
