Yearning in the Night

Yearning in the Night

my yearning for you is undeniable
relentless in the race against a small chance
it is so much more than simply lustful
it is a beautiful and ugly solo love dance

but I want to dance with you, not just this dream
and I need and beg for your love with my utter hush
as uncried tears of mine form a flooding stream
wishing you'd understand this is more than a crush

its love, love, love, my one and only true love
you are the one who frees the real me
and puts me in a mind in heaven, above
it is you and it is me but, oh, how I wish it was we

are you blind, my love? placed behind a black wall?
don't you see it in my touch, my eyes, my smile?
should i be a little more bold?
what must i do to make you see i've loved you all awhile?

and I cannot tell if you love me back
as I fear the answer will shatter my heart
with a thousand rusted bullets as an attack
but without killing it, you will completely tear it apart

but I will not waste my time wishing you will love me
instead I will spend my days wishing you find love
the kind of love that you truly deserve
with purity, joy, and beauty, like that of a white dove

all I dream now is for your happiness
but I refuse to deny that I wish I could possess
the things needed to make your life completely wondrous
but I cannot so I do not have you and I lay in my bareness
