Minotaur Me

I'd believe you if you told me
Everything will be alright
But when the words form on your lips
They disappear from sight
And i'm holding on with fingers
When I should be jumping in
But why should I keep hope alive
If there's no chance I can win

And I'll miss you when you leave me
But its no more than i deserve
I've got nothing left to give you
While you deserve the earth
But you can keep my t-shirt
The one that you sleep in
Because the smell of you still lingers
And has locked its way within

There's a thousand tiny needles
stinging through my eyes
From all the evil seen and done
All throughout my life
And I wish that I could go back
And save you from my sin
But the hurt I caused has laid its eggs
And burrowed under skin

I'm a monster and a tyrant
But I used to be your love
The one that kissed your eye-lids
And fitted like a glove
I hide amongst the pillars
just as they tumble down
Safe within the knowledge
That you won't be around

Great choice of words. It's nice when emotion can be put to paper like this.

My thoughts turn from the task at hand
to the task in mind
I lose my way as I
travel inward
The people around me
like a ball of Theseus' string
Relationships are the ties that
bind me
