I bleed to lay eyes upon your bleeding wounds
My eyes sting with tears to see them
or to know that they are glistening in yours.
I love you
too much to be able to smile in the face of your pain.
To know that I'm the cause is nothing short
of a cold knife through my heart
What can I do?
I'd love to give you half
or one of me to love and love you back
if I could spare it.
I do love you
too deeply when his kiss lies on my lips
but I can only travel one path at a time
of this fork in the road
and going backwards down the one I'm on
doesn't appeal to me right now.
I'm sorry
I know you know that
but I don't know if you know
how much I love you
how quickly I would give my life
to bring a smile to your lips
to see your tears rain from your eyes
and soak into the earth,
like your love for me and me,
never to return.
