What do you ask of me?
with those pleading eyes,
reaching for something,
i am unaware,
i let you reveal my place,
i had too much to put behind me,
aches to measure your intentions,
unfinished embrace,
will it ever mark a fresh beginning?
how long after lights fade,
i remain a wanton guise,
you decide what days i'm good enough for you,
even when i put my pride on the line,
you can't make up your mind,
branded yours,
i don't want to fight,
cry for me at your convenience,
take me from these haunted reveries,
i can't hold my life for you.
