If silence came upon The heart’s cry for more, I would be an unstoppable force. But this dead end and it's disregard Renders me halted in my course. To confess, I want you like I want a drug To numb the nagging pain. Through valleys my being is dragged And so adds to every stain. I live and work in the shadows of Discontent. Here, I am not myself, I do not belong. And unto my heart is much disdain As silenced becomes my song. I want you like I want relief From this rugged, jagged Path I walk. Relief, however or not so brief, I do not care, for I desire to Escape this sad normality. Chasing, reaching, futility 'Til every dawn. Again, I command myself to Forget and move on. Ludicrous... To consistently pursue the ones Who fall short of repaying regard. Still, I let down my guard. Surely this fool deserves a bit better Still I tell myself the contrary - That I am not good enough, Until such lies are believed. Until I stand at another Dead end. To the unforeseen, vain affections are sent In hopes of receiving its equal. Over backwards, becoming bent. To this misfortune, heart to lend... To another dead end. And once again that nagging question: Why such a pattern? Dragging morale into Secession, Delivering not pleasure but External concern. It dances about, continuing On and on... Extinguishing hope of cultivating An intimate bond. On and on, Another dead end. Dear soul, quit your seeking! For through the cracks of heartache, Precious time is seeping. And glorious gloom... Once again creeping. Still, in constant longing I am... Oh, what I would give To not give a **** To give all I own With desire also taken. Affection, sweet affection - Hydration to the soul... The sweetest infection. Where to escape this longing, Please, point the direction. An end must come to these daydreams - A hand stroking my hair, Waking up no longer alone. Hand against skin so fair… Cast my daydreams to stone. Failure to be emotionally resilient - An ongoing lament. So weather the storm, Steady on course! Fall for no one, Feel no remorse. Play no card, take no form. Conquer the task of Becoming the storm. If silence came upon The heart’s cry for more, I would be an unstoppable force. But this dead end and it's disregard Renders me halted in my course...

Dead End
If silence came upon The heart’s cry for more, I would be an unstoppable force. But this dead end and it's disregard Renders me halted in my course.

What is emotional independence anyway...
