I'm left and lost all alone In this life that is left to me. I desire and want like all But cannot find one to call my own. I try, though hard as I might, I am left a half-second late, Something short, missing, absent, And lose out on the final prize. I am left wanting those I cannot have. I am left dying for she who doesn't give a **** And I don't know how to break myself of this trend. I burn and break myself inside, Turning my heart to gravel Where it should be the ice In her Margarita-filled life. Out there are girls who might take that spot, But I cannot find it in me to find in her anything I want. I cannot find a way away from her I want. It's that **** twitch of my mind, Always returning to her I cannot. So here I strangle myself with my thoughts. I crush myself methodically from the inside-out, Breaking myself down quicker than Father Time did intend. Sorry says Mother Nature, so is Life.
