How It Must End

No matter how wrong your world was,

I fought to make things go right.

No matter the darkness around you,

I would strive to shine some light

When you found all you wanted

Was held in a stone prison of despair,

I would hand you keys to free them:

Whispered words of true love and care.

You existed in a world of grand lies

Where escape came only with dope

But I knew the key to your salvation

Was to share all my passion and hope.

It is not hard to observe and notice

When I am near or close to you,

Those words I whispered in darkness

My heart felt were honest and true.

Yet I needed something from you,

Something you say you can’t give:

The dream of a future beside you,

A grand dream you say I won’t live.

That would be what destroys me,

Depriving me of your love’s light.

Then it would be me, not you

That dwells in the darkest of nights.

I can’t contain my soul’s force;

The love that flows from my heart.

I have no idea where to begin.

No plan other than now to depart.

Oh, I don’t wish to leave you

No matter how great the pain

On hearing your rejections of love

Over and over again.

I admit it is selfish desire on my part

To fight for your soul’s success

While dreaming the dream of your love,

A grand dream that’s now hopeless.

In truth I feel like a coward,

A person so frightful and small

Trying to build the will and resolve

To never see you again or at all.

?I will always love you forever

Though I pray we won’t meet again,

For when you took back your true love

You left behind your true pain.
