Forever I wanted to please you,
Hold you and keep your eyes and halo bright.
I am shy of you now;
Unimaginably wretched when in your sight.
I shall never love another like you.
There is nothing to turn my heart away.
And so this hurts the most;
That I was not able to keep pace today.
Lost and still losing you,
Time was an hourglass of Santa Barbara sand.
I must tie you down to love you.
Violation upon demand.
One comfort I still cherish
That I am still worthwhile to hate
Perhaps this can be rectified
If I can pull my own dead weight.
