this is my battle cry
as the war in me go on
the battles have my heart weary and worn
why fight for this feelings of love
when retreating to numbness brings utter peace to all
don't feel with this heart and be blind
but keep this head straight and assess the subtle signs
desire has made me lose my sight
so that things that are black as night
were seen as white like light

you are worth my lifetime's pursuit
and though i yearn for you greatly
it can be silenced by the respect you deserve truly
let a sound of emptiness come my way
and an echoing halt is what i'll receive
as i succumb into the miserable arms of defeat
but a single wink is a distinct sign
that you're at least willing to give it a try
either way i love you nonetheless
as i shout my last hurrah
one more try...
