in love or even beauty
your eyes meet mine
and they don't seem to shine at all.
...no, you don't shine at all.
i wish you could pretend
to feel a little alive
to live outside
your head every now and then.
...just every now and then.
why do you always come to me so empty?
your life is your own fault, i don't know what to tell you anymore.
why do you always make me feel so guilty?
you know i'd fight by your side if you had anything to fight for.
i know you don't believe
in trusting what you don't know
or maybe it's what
you do know but wish you didn't.
...i wish you would listen.
your face is as blank as
the page that was once your life
now you're nothing
but a soulless specimen
...oh, what might have been.
why do you always come to me so empty?
your life is your own fault, i don't know what to tell you anymore.
why do you always make me feel so guilty?
you know i'd fight by your side if i had anything to fight for.
why should i even bother?
nothing i say ever matters
i could fight for you forever
but you would never care...
you would never care.
Author notes
I've been writing in some different formats lately. This and the piece I posted before this were little ramblings I posted on a private blog that I keep for little ideas and whatnot... I played around with them and decided to post the results. This is a song, which makes me very happy. I haven't been able to write a song fully for quite awhile.
I know this part is confusing:
"i know you don't believe
in trusting what you don't know
or maybe it's what
you do know but wish you didn't."
It could probably use some touching up, and right now it probably only works for me when reading the piece. I'll see what I can do with it.
