She asked of me to wait for her
but would not say what for
her not knowing how patiently
I wait outside her door
but through the window I could see
a most familiar form
and it was this sight
that caused my heart to from my chest be torn

I have asked myself, time and again
what do I think I'll gain
when every time I share myself
it always results in pain
you would think somehow that over time
I would learn to stay away
to not willingly subject myself
to these games that people play

I find myself lost in remorse
for a love I thought I had
but the true nature of our love
is what has made me sad
so now I sit in silence
confused and all alone
swallowing the lump I feel inside
my heart which turned to stone

I feel my life is worthless now
unsure of how to cope
things that made me happy once
have now made me lose hope
and it is not suicide I seek
or a quick means to an end
but simply just someone to speak
and listen as my friend
