Your love

I love you, I wish you could know it at last
I wish I could tell you every day
That I love you, more than anything
And these words fill me up, the words I long to say

Love is like oxygen, keeping me alive
Every time you smile at me I lift up and I can fly
Every time you look away and reject me
I curl up inside and just want to die

Every time I cut, I dream of your face
Knowing that if I had you, maybe, just maybe...
Writing your name in my blood in my book of dreams
Beside my name, ? and me

When you smile, it brings the smallest light to the dark
And though the light flickers and fades so quickly
I have the memory of it
Still here, still with me

Tears trickling down from my eyes deep and cold
Grasping the empty hair for the warmth in your hand
But you turn away from me
And you never seem to understand

Lift me up and tell me that you love me
Dreams I long to turn into the truth and life
Where escape is not an illusion but real
And I can for one short day forget about my troubles and strife

Empty space, where I wish you could lie
Next to me, so I could feel so alive and so real
Your love is like oxygen making me breathe
Love is the only other emotion I feel
