And I will Love You Forever

I will love you forever

And I don’t know why

The tears I’ve shed

Lead me not in the right direction

But merely astray

Further away from what I want

What I need

My heart’s desire

Just to lay in your arms

Who will read this?

Whose blood does my words spill?

Who will I kill?

I know you are listening

I know you’re there

Constant companion

Never alone

And pain overwhelms

Open the veins or you will explode

Too much thought

Too little sleep

But words flow

And flow

When will they stop?

Can’t stop to think

Can’t wait for logic

Throw yourself into the ocean

Water consumes thought

Extinguishing the flame

Cut off oxygen

Can’t breathe

Don’t want to survive

The air is heady

Anticipation grows thick

Building, churning, ready to emerge

No.

Stop.

This is madness!

Leave me alone!

Leave me in peace!

Never again do I want to see your face

I am a ghost

I am nothing

Why do you waste your time

With someone who cannot fight back?

And I have no reason to live

I have no reason

And I love you

Je t’aime pour toujours

Et je ne sais pas pourquoi

Who am I

To live in your shadow?

Je suis un fantôme
