Loveless

I'm so alone

I cannot feel.

My heart is ash.

This pain is real.

I cannot feel.

I cannot breath.

My lungs are crushed

From this longing.

My lips too cold

To feel the chill.

Why is he in

My thoughts and dreams?

As if us apart has no effect.

I cannot feel,

I cannot touch,

I cannot breath,

I cannot move.

His heart's too far

Though he is near.

Why can't he see

See that I love him.

 

But standing here is not enough.

Someone must

Find their will.

And all I can do

All I can do

Is keep thinking,

I cannot feel,

I cannot touch,

I cannot breath,

I cannot move.

And the only antidote to my longing is you.

I cannot move.

 

Dear and hold my hand.

Hold my hand,

Dear and hold my hand.

Hold my hand.

Dear and hold my hand.

 

Why is he in my dreams?

And every second in my thoughts?

Why can't he feel what I feel?

My other half.

I cannot feel.

I cannot touch.

I cannot breath.

I cannot move.
