Your absence breaks my heart, But your presence makes me mourn
Hope? Deceit? Is it just the start?
Of endless longing from dusk till dawn
Paradise cannot compare to the happiness of her love
Yet her love kills paradise; A never ending cycle of crows and doves
Endlessly longing for this feeling to be that of despise
Roses, tulips, dandelions, The sweeter scent of sunshine
Drowned by tears of moonlight crying; Longing for her endless love to decide
Why is it that you appear in all my thoughts, When you’re not a thought
Or appear in my dreams, When you’re not a dream
This burning freezes all existing atoms
Only to ask myself are you real, When in fact you are
But different than in my dreams; It's a feeling I can’t seem to tell
And when she has said all that she needs to me
And her love has dispersed; Never will I forget, in a thousand years
The endless longing, was it a love, or a curse
