Look into my eyes. Can you tell I'm afraid? I wish you could. Oh God, I wish you could see. To know what hides in the shadows, Hidden from normal sight. From normal mind. I wish you could feel what I do, The chill touch on your warm flesh, The icy anger at my very life, And the sadistic joy at my terror. To feel thier eyes upon you, And do dance on the brink of madness... To bathe in my past, drawn from my well of sadness. To breathe in the water, and drown in sorrow once more. To feel one more time like I'm just life's pity whore, And I don't know if I can even take it anymore. I cry from eyes that have forgotten how to cry, Turn my face to the heavens and ask them why, Why was I born? Why am I here? Why do I feel alone? Even in the middle of a crowd? Why am I so alone? Why do they hate me? Why do you hate me? Tell me this if you can, if you will, if you wish... Because I just need to know... this one time... I need to not be afraid to hold you back... just this once... Please just hold me tighter, past when the moment fades, And the fear wraps it's cold, cold fingers 'round my throat again. Please just love me... so that maybe I can love myself too...
