Loss

Return my call
Your voicemail cannot sustain me
Speak just a little bit longer
For in your presence I cannot be
Flawed though this love is
You cannot fault its honesty

Speak to me
Though you have nothing to say
Is the heat we share in proximity
The only toy with which you play
Weather, traffic, cell phone static
Anything, anything, just stay

Turnaround
I am dying in my grief
I've given all you asked for
I've shed my bark, shed every leaf
I've given all to sate your senses
I've let go of every belief

Destroy me
There is no more to spill
For love I gave my all away
In trust of an elusive ideal
Reason, shame, honor and sorrow
Will wash this earth by your steel

Measured Love

What promise can I make?
Which I know I won't keep
Not because my soul is weak
Its cos, it does not agree

Its right with all I've learned
It fits say all with whom I've been born
From customs, habits, science, lore
They all would have me conform

Life would be easier still
And it has been good to see
Yet of this, if I let go
Then what will become of me?

Its not selfishness, I seek
Though at first it be
Splattered with old ego's logo
It is my only steel

You ask for what I cannot give
You ask for more than life
You ask for love that I give up
That for which I'd die
