My world is upside down, in a twisted mess,
as I grow weary waiting for you.
Heaven and earth, fall at my command,
yet I, victim to their needs.
Like a carousel, up and down,
emotions flung.
Tempt me with unspoken words;
look me in the eyes.
See my temptations at will.
Faith in what I feel,
I know you feel it too.
Can you deny?
I go on, a darkness
without your guiding beams.
This heart speaks louder
than you will ever know.
Two worlds apart,
I can't live within you,
yet
I can't live without you.
