Saving Paine

I watch you

I see you watching me too

I turn away, for the past is past

I wish those good times would have last

The four of us are no longer the same

I lost touch with you when the calm came

You see it in my eyes

I still want to die

How I've tried to fill that black hole

And in trying to, you touched my very soul

For two years you wondered where I gone to

Searching so that I could be with you

Now that I see you tall and proud

I turn slowly around

For there is no reason why I should be here

I am so tired; so alone I cannot shed any more tears

You touch my arm, and pull me back

But I am so numb, it's the ability to feel that I lack

I see you trying to reach me

But I tell you to let me be

Why am I lying

Because inside I'm dying

I watch all you, my three old friends

And wait for my pointless life to end

I feel your hands lifting me to the light

But I'm too tired to fight

You tell me you love me

You are trying to make me see

For me you always have a smile

And keep trying though this is taking awhile

I stare at you through my brown eyes

And look past you when I say goodbye

You turn and grab me, holding me tight

You won't let me go into the dark, you promise to live with me in the light

You pull me next to you down on the ground

And I lay their listening to the sound

Of your heart pounding inside you

I put my hand on my heart, and realize that mines beating too

You lean over me and whisper into my ear

That you love me and will always be right here

You ask me to stay with you for all time

So that I will be yours, and you will be mine

Your hand grabs mine

As you look into my eyes and pledge your love for all time

I see that you no longer seek death

Your haunting daemons have left

And now your fighting mine away

So that together forever we can stay

I reach up to touch your cheek

I realize I have found what I seek

You
