Love digs deep when distance grows far
We are bound by our heart’s appetite
We want to believe, one day… just one day
Questioning the insanity we feel, day-to-day
As we are driven by the inane, the sufferable
I am the insufferable, the one I love to hate
Withering roses bathing in their own death
Opposing sins, listless eyes invade love
We are love’s utter disappointment, my dismay
Sorrow cascades in the hearts of the broken
In truth, our labors would've ended in failure
So…life continues and the world still whirls
Reality still spins and existence still swirls
Pray for my mind’s safe return
And I shall be a friend
