Into sorrow

I don’t know how to feel anymore,

my heart is breaking and I don’t know why.

I cry inside so nobody sees me,

yet my eyes bleed the sorrow from within.

Sadness takes my hand as I fall,

showing me the way to hell in my eyes.

Never in my life have I wanted this way,

breath taken from me in my suffering.

To anything I am ready to give my love,

setbacks of life just jumping in my way.

No moonlight covering my life dying cold,

warmth of reason hiding from me.

I know where I belong, I know who I love,

with a knife in my heart I realize I am hers.

Painful dreams reminding me of resentment,

while the world laughs in my face.

So close to your arms I cry alone,

hoping that this is all just a nightmare.

She gives love to me when nobody else could,

holding in her hands the reason I live.

Am I wrong for needing her touch right now,

or am I just a selfish man wanting his way?

Brokenness calling me into a vision of lies,

feeling so down without feeling at all.

It was in her touch that I knew almost nothing,

where everything had meaning in our hearts.

I stand alone to be together with my lover,

and fall into sorrow by the touch of life.
