1.30 Choking in the dark
Never leave me I plead unto you,
Why is it that you must do this to me?
I can't bear the emptiness without you.
Whatever you do, don't leave me standing feeling blue,
Just take one look at me and try to see.
All I ever tried to do was to offer you my love,
Across my heart did your cruel claws rake.
Strong as ever, still stands my un-shattered love,
Radiant and strong, symbolised in the beauty of the dove.
But you were only prepared to take, take, take
Why I could not leave you I do not know,
Maybe my love for you was too strong to forsake?
Please don't go, for it is for you the seeds of love I sow.
I can only find my passion for you expand and grow,
Even after the pain and fear that you cause and make,
These feelings of mine I cannot explain,
But there is one thing of which I can be sure;
I am prepared to go with you, through times of thunder and rain,
Disregarding your cruelty and pain,
My battered heart will forever with love remain pure.
Caring for any other than yourself you do not,
This whole thing to you is a game and a lark.
You walk out on me screaming at me to go and rot;
Piercing into my heart, feeling as though I have been shot,
Left alone, choking in the dark.
