What of You and Me

Where are you when I need you 
Are you even there 
Is my hope just a delusion 
It seems to me, you do not care 

If it feels that I’ve forsaken you 
It’s because it feels you’ve done the same to me 
How much longer do you see it fit 
To keep me trapped in misery  

Don’t you understand how I feel 
Or is this just all about you 
No understanding, nor an answer 
What am I supposed to do 

I ask that you will come and help 
I ask that you stand beside me 
To take away what causes all my pain 
So that I may feel that I am free  

Give me hope, for you  to guide me 
Yet it seems that you ignore me still 
I have instilled inside my own self 
Something I define as Hercule Will 

Wisdom comes to me from nowhere 
Things I’ve studied not 
So how do I know of these things 
They are not things I have forgot 

That has to have some meaning 
Who placed these things inside my mind 
Forever shall I ponder 
And still no truth I ever find  

Interpretation isn’t a key 
Nor does it help to heal 
I want reason, I want substance 
I want something that is real 

So I ask of you this one thing 
If you care for me at all 
Pick me up and raise me higher 
Never again you let me fall 

To take away everything I’ve worked for 
To simply hit a rest switch 
You have unmade, me, my whole existence 
And have left me with this itch 

Adventure, I now crave it 
More than I ever have before 
I want truth, I want to know you 
These things I feel I must explore 

For if there is truly nothing 
We have all been living a lie 
Then we have wasted life for no reason 
And that’s I truth I just despise 

So I’m wanting not forgiveness 
Because it seems that it will never come 
You seem like a angry, jealous child 
I’ve grown up, so now I’m done 

I look around and realize one fact 
Of this you cannot hide 
I’ve walked alone, for all of my life 
You’ve never once been by my side 

I’ve only seen one set of footprints 
And what is interesting, you see 
I wasn’t carried, not one single step 
I was the one who carried me
