I had to borrow a promise to persuade you to smile.
Then I pawned my whole future just to hold you a while.

I've seen you following the drifters
but you always end up here.

I had to conquer indifference to convince you to give.
Chase the taillights of demons to be near where you live.

While your torn between two worlds
seems you always end up here.

Can't imagine you'ld be waiting, even resting in you anger,
while the hypocrites and lovers take their pleasure where they find it.

I've declined the many favors of the well intentioned stranger.
I'd prefer to bare your sadness and whatever's left behind it.

I had to wander in silence to remember your face.
A lifetime of successes couldn't hide your disgrace.

I've seen you circling the heavens
but you always end up here.

While I liked this best, I found the entire poem insightful and interesting

Ah, with this you set the doormat that invited me in so that I could enjoy this~

Yea, Love is like that sometimes...
Just wanted to play this one more time, and I like it just as much, if not more.
