Only Me

Only Me

A Poem by Merancapeman
"

I wrote this with the idea in mind that I often find people who end up finding someone else. A song.

"
I can't stand to be defeated
In everything I do
The walls are closing in on me
They're miles away from you
You seem so lost in blissfullness
I'm lost inside myself
You frolic in your heavens
While I suffer in my hells

Why can't you see?
I could speak a million volumes
While your mind would wander free
I hope you're happy
You've got someone else to live for
While I live for only me.

There are some who find the answer
In shells of broken dreams
It's so relative it's sick'ning
And you don't know what it means
You say you're sorry for my pain
And go back to your fun
While I watch your love go running
To the person who's the one

Why can't you see?
I could show you how the skin
is rough and how deep it can bleed
I hope you're happy
You've got someone else to live for
While I live for only me.

So many questions in my broken destiny
And the curses coursing in my blood refuse to let me be
Why can't she be the one I know for all eternity
When there's so much love to go around, why can't there be for me?

Why can't you see?
I could be the one you need
If you wanted me to be
I hope you're happy
I've got no one else to live for
So I guess it's only me.

You've got someone else to cry for
I've got no one left to try for
So I guess it's only me.
