Looking into her eyes,
I lose myself,
Hearing her voice,
The sound; calming,
Her touch,
Sends chills up my spine,
My eyes close,
I think to myself,
Of what could possibly be,
In a different world than this,
One where I am not who I am,
A place where I am another,
Where I am the one you want,
Where I am by your side,
If only this were that world,
Maybe life would be better,
In this world I walk alone,
As time passes by,
A road travelled by only me,
Only one set of footprints,
Walking the path of life,
In this world, she's taken,
By someone else,
And yet all I do is hope,
And pray at night,
That everyday she wakes,
She wakes with a smile...

The nights grow long and cold,
Leaves begin to fall, as the winds bring change.
The world around me slowly dies,
Leaving everything barren and empty.
Walking the path, the leaves crumble at my feet,
Crunching, crackling, broken down into nothing.
I've walked this path for a years,
Watching the seasons come and go.
I grow tired, but still I press on,
Down the long winding path that is life.
Everything around me changes,
And yet I still remain the same.
Unchanged, unmoved, alone in this endeavour,
Carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders.
The burdens of so-called humanity,
The sins of a society doomed to crumble.
Crumble like the leaves underneath my feet.
Sweat covers my brow, muscles ache,
Breath becomes heavy, as pain grips my heart.
I am all that remains of a noble breed,
A man most would call a gentleman, a nice guy.
I would throw myself into the fire,
Just to save those I love, and yet, here I am.
As the world keeps changing, continuing to sin,
The weight growing with each passing season.
One day I will break, and I shall finally crumble,
Just like the leaves, leaving nothing behind.

Everytime I see you, time seems to slow,
A moment in time, wishing it would last forever,
You approach me, smiling, arms wide open,
Closer with each step, closer you come,
Your arms reach around me, an embrace,
My arms caress your body, as I hold you,
The perfume, tickles my nostrils, pure ecstasy,
It drives me into a frenzy, mind becomes a blur,
Looking down into your beautiful eyes,
All I can do is smile, and pull you closer,
Wishing that this moment would never end,
My heart beats along side yours,
And yet I don't know if yours does the same,
Scared, I stand, not wanting to find out,
I want to be there, with only you,
In a moment that carries on,
Where we are together, one being,
Just a moment in time that never ends,
Please, just let me hold on,
Let me hold on for one more second...

It's been so long since I got to hear your voice,
Not a day goes by where I don't regret my choice.
The things we used to do for fun and joy,
But I let my ego loose to destroy.
I regret the decisions I've done or made,
My heart hangs heavy wishing you'd of stayed.
You would always be there by my side,
No matter how difficult the stride.
Helping me, lifting me to greater heights,
Guiding me, urging me to keep up the fights.
I threw it all away; my ego got in the way,
Nothing I can say will take me back to that day.
I can't change the past, but I have learned,
I don't know if I can repair the bridge I've burned.
There's an emptiness that I can't deny,
To myself I can no longer lie.
You were there for me when I needed you most,
And I for you, but now I'm only a ghost.
A memory of what I used to be in the past,
To repair what once was, a task too vast.
We may never be the same, it's too much to ask,
Allow me to hate myself and drink from this flask.
I for lack of a better word, failed you,
Doubt fills my mind; this is true.
It's been so long, and not a day goes by,
When you don't come to mind, as I ask myself why?
The cracks remain in what once was,
Wishing I could go back in time and press pause.
On that one moment, when we were happy and alive,
Cause now I'm left struggling to breathe and survive...
