I need to write
Write like never before
To let all my burdens go
To clear my mind, and to let tears flow
And lighten my heart for the morrow

He's been out for a while now
Roaming the woods beyond the walls
Angered by his fellowmen's betrayal
After they drove him out into exile

They closed the gates behind him
And left him all alone
No one to help nor care for him
Loneliness he always hated, now his friend

From above a hill, he usually saw
Over the walls, his people happy and unworried
"All those smiles are because of me,
and this is how they repay me?" he said to himself

He vowed to himself one cold hearted thing
To seize the chance for him to come back in
And make them all suffer, as he did their enemies
With the same means he used, ones they hated but needed

His exile was for all the cruelty and pain he conjured
Against the enemies his people long feared
He was the necessary evil they clung unto reluctantly
The savior they feared, more than they did their enemies

Days, months, and years passed by
And he continued to watch them day and night
All were happy, happier than each passing day in fact
Until one day, everything fell into the man's foretold fate
.
The people were frantic and in despair
He knew not what was happening there
But even so, he saw his chance has opened
And smiled as he went and make true his return

The Exiled, that's what he chose
To name himself for his return
Expecting fear to overtake the whole place
He was ecstatic to start the slaughter he savored since that day

The gates were open, just as he expected
He walked right in, giving off the same presence
He had emanated when he went out the gates
And expected the people to wallow in fear and hopelessness

What he saw was one he never imagined
They all saw him and asked for his forgiveness
They asked for his help, and offered their allegiance
He was no longer to be only their savior, but their king as well

The Exiled was shocked at the reception he received
Taken aback, confused and not knowing how to react
Until he thought of what he was given
And laughed menacingly, like those of the battles of old

He saw the chance to put out all the pain he felt
After being exiled before, and now he's back
To fully control the people who chained him with weakness
And free to do whatever he wickedly wishes

You don't have to give me your all
Just give me what you can give
And I'll take whatever they may be
While I give you all that I have
To show you that I love you, my dear
Just take what you need from me
And you don't have to love me back

You are my Robin
Yes, my Robin
The girl I can never
Give up on, ever

You are that someone
That I saw in the middle
A crowded room
With a smile that caught me

You are the one
That made me believe
That there will always be a chance
Whenever there's a will

You are the one
That will get me
To steal from a restaurant
A blue french horn for you to be happy

You are the girl
That will make me
Love other girls
Subconsciously halfheartedly

You are the friend
That will stick by me
And the one I would choose
Over the girl who wants to marry me

You are the love
That I will let go bitterly
To a friend who I know
Can make you smile brightly

You are the past
I can never get rid of
That will forever haunt me
And never let my heart sleep

You are the one
That will spoil me
Ruin all others
With the love we had briefly

Yes, you're my Robin
The girl of my dreams made true
You are the one I will forever love
The one that will always pull me through

And even though I accept my fate
Of forever loving you every single day
I know in my heart that I will never be
The Ted with whom you were meant to be

Every tick that my watch makes
I will remember
Every moment by your side
I will happily savor

Even if it only ends in a second
I will cherish the memory
Made with you in that single second
It will last in me forever

I have no right to ask for more
Time with you anymore
So I'll keep every second with you
And never lose them unlike how I lost you

You closed the door
But I kept knocking
You paid no heed
To my constant calling

You went away
And left me behind
But I didn't go on my own way
I waited for you night and day

You turned off the lights
And left me in the dark
I stayed and wandered around the room
Trusting you'd turn the lights back on

All these you did to me
Yet I never grew tired
Of the all the despair you brought to me
Through all your acts and unspoken words

The truth is I pray for the day
That I will stop knocking and walk away
That I will turn around and go the other way
That I will turn the lights back on myself

I truly feel this way
But for now, I can take some more
Because for me, all that you are
Is someone worth waiting and suffering for

There is no off switch
To how and why I love you
Love does not work like that
I can't just flip the switch
And expect it to be gone

I can let it burn though
Like a fire in the night
It will only burn, and I have to decide
Whether to feed it more wood to stay alight
Or just watch it weaken and die.

I chose the former.
