Into darkness I have stared, with a lonely face.
Many things that I have done, I wish I could erase.
Facets of my person, I wish I could refine.
Sadness leads to darkness, and then to the divine.

I try to keep an open mind, I try to look ahead.
I'll never know if things get better if I wind up dead.
Life is hard to tolerate, it's harder than it seems.
It's a bitter-sweet reality so different from my dreams.

Each new day is worth the hope, it's why I persevere.
Each brings disappointment, to feed upon my fears.
One day though I am convinced will surely compensate,
For these days of sorrow, the pain it will abate.

I'll make it through, I'm sure of that, but to what I do not know.
I hope that things get better, and then those things plateau.
I want to find my lover, I want to find my friend.
The middle part is just a filler, for a happy end.

The poem has been sent, to the one who I adore.
I don't know what will happen, but yet I must explore.
I wonder if I'll just get hurt, it wouldn't be surprising,
But if I don't I'd always feel like I was comprimising.

Love can be a tricky thing, when it takes control
It is mighty powerful, it's scars can take their toll.
But vision helps me see beyond, the risk of all that pain.
If nothing else, a life's lesson I'm sure to ascertain.

But if happiness, the golden prize, is waiting at the end
Then I'll know, I was not wrong, the past we can transcend.

Turn away from me, look the other way
Pay no attention to the things, that I'm about to say.
Don't you dare listen, don't allow yourself to feel
Don't you see what I've become, don't let those old wounds heal.
It might be true that you'll never know, the way I feel inside
The things I want to do for you, but you just run and hide.

What I feel inside for you is love I cannot stop.
It's greater than you'll ever know, more than you can top.
It makes me want to take you to far off distant places,
Just mine and yours are all I need in the sea of strangers' faces.

I want to make you happier, than you've ever been before.
I want to give you mountain ranges and the ocean's shore.
I want to take you away with me, I want to make a stand.
I want to feel your hand in mine, our feet on top of sand.

I cannot help the way I feel, I cannot stop the rain.
I only wish to make you see, this love as strong as chain.
Maybe it is wasted, falling on deaf ears.
But I don't believe your love is dead, just hidden behind fears.

So you go on and look away, from all the things I'd do.
Forget about the simple fact that I'm in love with you.
I know it's unimportant, I know you don't believe
but I tell you now the honest truth, nothing to deceive.

But it's your choice, your circumstance, and I will understand
if you turn away forever, the pain I will withstand.
But if you want to take a chance, I promise you my best
I will be there always, my love will never rest.
