Fettered To You

.

“One step at a time

Slow down you may fall”

Comes the haunting advice

It echoes through the empty hall

I don’t feel anything anymore

Neither the cold fear

Nor the heat that melts my core

As I drown in silent tears

I reach out in darkness,

Hundreds of hands I feel

They just brush against, not caress

My soul that’s left alone to heal

In the midst of the dead, I see you

A heart of gold in a million

I hope you will save me, you will stay true

And shine brighter than the sun.

But the hope is far wasted

Because you turn your back on me

Tell me, what wrong am I for tested?

Please I beg you, come set me free

I know you are human

I can see through your pretense

You seem to treat me like I’m nothing

To give yourself defense.

Why did you leave me alone?

What wonders did you gain?

Tell me through my pleading moan

What pleasures you seek in my pain?

You know you drive me crazy

Like I have never before known

That the world shouldn’t be trusted

Becomes a lesson that’s untold

Do me a favor

Please listen to my plead

I may sound very pathetic

But I want you to pay heed

Please do not flicker before me

Please be gone forever

So that I may never feel

What I guess I will feel for-ever.
