Within Temptation

I’m lost within this craving
A need that cannot be filled
This emptiness inside of me is unsettling you,
Making you feel like the fool,

My wishes are turbulent nightmares,
Against the backdrop of time passing,
My searching of this thing never ending,
All too consuming,

I need something to make me fill un-void,
Please caress and take me,
I need this thing badly,
I’m falling terribly,

Catch me as I fall,
Won’t you please grace me?
Dignify me?
Kiss me?

The freezing temperature of my coldness drops,
The hollowness of my soul barred for all to see,
The sadness permanent on my face,
The bitterness branded into my taste,

I’m waiting for this release,
When everything will be okay,
When everything will be alright,
When I might be happy and light,

I would give up everything I have for you,
My craving,
My sweet,
My purpose,

Will there ever be a moment when I’m not sad?
When I don’t feel rage running through my veins?
Hear the screams of my secrets in my ears?
Watch the darkness of the past unfold onto the present?

I beg of you,
My dear craving,
Touch me with your promises,
And ill bleed into your hand,

Any moment I hope,
I’m still waiting,
I would wait forever,
Since this craving isn’t dwindling,

Warm me up inside,
Show me some light,
My darkness is overpowering,
The bit of brightness inside of me is going out,

Can’t you hear me Craving?
I’m screaming at the top of my lungs,
I need you in this instant,
I don’t want to feel the cold anymore,

I can’t stand the feel of my tears against my cheeks,
I don’t want to feel angry anymore,
I want to see happiness in the mirror,
I don’t want to fake another day,

Craving,
Oh craving,
When will you grant me your presence?
Relieve me of my secrets?

beautiful

as a fine wine...
reading and reading and reading them over and over and over...
always something new...
they grow in beauty...
they grow in the heart...
i will take another look...
and another...
and another...
