Unnoticed

all of the air, I 

gift to you, 

so as your breath lives on 

forever

you breathe too easily 

as my gift remains unseen 

darling, the depth 

of my love 

passes the last star, and yet 

you cannot fathom 

just how far I'd fly for you

the flick of a switch 

will turn you on, but 

what then darling

when there is no initial spark 

unrelenting, I gift you this spark

to light our fire, 

instead you use the flame

for your first inhale of your 

cigarette 

naive in a love unrequited

I do not blame you 

for you have never known 

a diamond from a piece of glass

[John the Baptist]

The bitterness behind this one is almost palpable. The last two verses are especially devastating. It is indeed hard to wake the dead.

i guess he just didn`t know the love he had
