Want to stop the wanting
The little lies we tell ourselves
To make it all worthwhile
The toasts to drink mortality away
And keep the desires at bay
Burned for the sake of burning
To have it all or nothing
Sentenced to an earthly form
And an ageless mind to deify me
Within a soul of such intensity
Feel to just have any feeling
Unleash the locked away thoughts
The forgotten memories of living
To balance again that shortened lease
And to ride again that restless beast
Free the mind to the act of freeing
This cannot be termed in words
Thus cannot be expressed
When there is no way to describe
All the anguish of this agony mine

I knew from the title this was going to be powerful and painful (love the title, by the way *S*)... but it's more than that... it's wrenching, hopeless.

Superbly written sadness!!
