You are what you think, I think,
and I wonder why...
I'm left waiting
so afraid to try.

Emptiness walks within me where she was
and the days have become like months.
Last night I went to her for rest
but I lay open beside her to no avail.
Something's gone, and I'm not sure what...
some of it is my dominance of her,
and some of it is the loss
of my certainty of her regard,
and some of it is my choice
to avoid such rest stops,
and some is my emotions
blocking my vision of what it was
that brought me here.
It all will pass with time,
says my reason,
screams my mind....

I came to this for detachment
knowing, that of attachment, I'd had the best.
I look in their eyes, crying, 'love me'.
My needs, so long soothed,
raging above my love and detachment
mocking my purpose
blocking my vision
and in the back, fear whispering,
'love's dying, you'll lose her,
hurry, find your way before it's too late'.
I'm right, though I can't remember why
amid this rage of emotions.
Let it be, is the way, I think,
I fear I cannot turn away...
The next depression I'll ride down
to hell and back, I think
just to see if it's as bad as I fear
for, if I'm not gambling everything,
then why am I here?
