Longings

Certain things I’m longing for
I’d barter for
I’d squander for
Certain things I’m longing for
My heart can not afford

Often times I dream of them
I live for them
I’d die for them
Often times I dream of them
But know they're out of reach

Arms reaching out, heart splitting open, Tears falling down from my cheek to the floor
Hands clenched in fear, I want to feel. Can’t help but seem that the dream is in vain, yet I dream

Many days I think of you
I dream of you
I talk to you
Many days I think of you
but don't know who you are

Every time I try to speak
no words I speak
I dare not speak
Every time I try to speak
the words won't pass my lips

Arms reaching out heart splitting open Tears falling down from my cheek to the floor
Hands clenched in fear, I want to feel this. Can’t help but seem that the dream is in vain yet I dream

So sick of striving, of dreaming, of dying, of trying to make all my longings come true. My palms are bleeding, I'm holding on so tightly to the end of this rope but what else can I do?

Arms reaching out heart splitting open Tears falling down from my cheek to the floor. Hands clenched in fear, I want to feel this. Can’t help but seem that the dream is in vain yet I dream.
