Who cannot love?
All I never get enough of.
Now, these escaping days
Mistreated ways
Victim to my own tormented daze.
I’ve carved my heart too small
Feelings couldn’t be held too long
As my weakness grows strong
We haven’t really met
We never truly have what we get
These misspoken words said
I’ve been untold
The only thing ever at stake is our own soul
I know me
Never known you
My mistaken deceit
Walls of guilt I’ve fell through
Starved my deepest love
Neglected my heroic trust
I’ve never softened my anger, they watch it grow harder
Help me drive myself somewhere farther
Feelings somehow sharper
Giving everything harsher
Struggling to never again falter
Even though, at times, I’m haunted by my own Dark Waters.

Very deep and dark, xerxes. I can relate to this sometimes.

Take me home to Erin's shores,
to where my heart roams free.

This speaks to me in so many ways...covering both my feelings of hopeless and frustration when it comes to love yet still hinting at the beauty it possesses in me and for me and for the future! Very well done! Good write!
