My Purpose

I wait for you….

Wait for you to find me

To discover me….

In this lonely place

Where darkness has no end and I am but a prisoner

Of my own thoughts

--

I am lost here

Though I cannot remember why….

How did I come to be here?

In this abyss of endless quiet

That drowns my cries and hurts my ears

This is where I wait for you

--

I remain here

It feels as icy and cool as gold

So beautiful yet devoid of a heart

I am trapped here in a place without feeling

Without sensations and emotions

Without your touch

Which I can guess is warm and soft….

--

Why can't you find me?

Is it because I'm not complete?

I'm broken, scattered like an unfinished puzzle

Please put me back together

I want to feel, to know I can

That's all that matters to me

--

I am cursed

I have a present that lasts forever

There is no past or future

Just now… just this now

And this now is more than I can bear

--

Please save me

I fear I'm losing myself in what's left

I am not whole—my soul is in shambles

Please heal me with your gentle touch

--

I sense you there

Just outside my reality, my prison

You're fixing me—piece me back into one again

I want to see you

I want to feel you, your undying heart!

--

Am I dead?

Was I ever alive?

Or am I just a figment of my own imagination?

Could you tell me—please tell me?

I want to feel real

Oh how I want to be real….

--

But now the darkness is clearing

The numbness is leaving—what can I see?

Through eyes of violet crimson….

I gaze down at my prison, from the outside

A pendant of unrivaled mystery….

--

Do my senses belong to me again?

Or are these yours—these feelings and this vessel?

Who am I, oh who am I?

Am I just a part of you?

--

But I now have a purpose—for some strange reason I have one now

This is my reason, this is my function

This has been my intention for existence

It is something I cannot explain but….

--

Protect you

Protect you—the one who has saved me

I now wish to shield you from the world's every darkness

Let me be your angel, to repay you the life you have brought back to me

Even… if you don't know I'm there

I'm watching over you now.
