You never tired of telling others

all the ways I’d let you down,

from childhood years to teenage troubles,

so much blame to throw around.

You asked yourself out loud why I was good at school and bad at home,

but never stopped to ruminate

on how you treated me alone.

I was your biggest disappointment,

no matter how hard I would try,

so after learning it was futile

I simply gave up asking why.

And as I grew cold, you grew colder,

as I retreated, so did you,

and as we bitterly grew older,

the rift between us, it grew too.

Now that I am grown and healing,

I can look back through the years,

it wasn’t me that you were hating,

I was your legacy, your mirror.

I want you.

Wanting you is like a river that I drown in,

Fighting harder, growing tired until I can’t swim,

Overwhelmed by need, I sink into the mire.

Oh won’t you save me?

Save me from my own desire!

Please won’t you save me?

Save me from my own desire.

I can’t have you, you can’t have me,

because we’re not free.

But I can feel you, I can sense your need

the same as mine, it will not tire.

So won’t you save me?

Save me from my own desire!

Why won’t you save me?

Save me from my own desire.

I must have you.

If I cannot slake this thirst, then I will perish,

and you will follow, and together we will vanish,

lost in lust’s black night of wanting, we’ll expire.

So you must save me!

Save me from my own desire!

Now you must save me.

Save me from my own desire!
