Haunted

When I look into your eyes

I'm not so sure of what I see.

Is it love that motivates you

Or the chance to ruin me?

You seem to care about me

But I can't quite feel the love.

Perhaps the heart inside you

Is a lizard's, not a dove's.

You bring to me the one thing

I need more than all the rest.

But is your gift a gift of caring

Or just some kind of awful test?

At times I feel I'd wager

Everything to turn back time.

A chance to once again feel human

And to claim what's rightly mine.

I stand trapped between two futures

And I don't know which path to choose.

I'm haunted by the fear

That either way I'm bound to lose.
