Just trying to get emotions out..

I knew a girl.

She's on her own.

I can't believe

How much she's grown.

She liked to be tucked in,

She said.

We said goodnight

And went to bed.

And through the night

She dreamt of me,

And I too,

Of our destiny.

But destiny

Is not a dream.

It's not a picture

On a screen.

It runs away

And hides from you

To see if your

Intents are true.

And if it finds

That they aren't pure

It disappears

Of that, I'm sure.

So when she woke

And reached for me,

I wasn't where

She thought I'd be.

The wind had took me

Far away,

To desert sands

And skies of gray.

I'm sorry that

I let you down.

I know there's not much

I can say.

I hurt myself

While hurting you,

And looking back

I should have stayed.

If I had only kept my word

And loved you like I said I'd do.

Instead of writing shit like this,

I'd write a thousand songs for you.

You're still my girl.

You always will be.

I'll love you

Even if it kills me.

Because that day

Already came

The moment

You forgot my name.

So now in death,

I've been set free

To love you

For eternity.

I know it's not

The love of us

That I'm invested in,

Because

Without me there

There is no us.

I love you

With no greed or lust.

I don't expect you

To believe

A word of this,

Or to receive

The type of love

I want to send

Before my eyes

See my life's end.
