Yearning, still
Yearning, still
I don’t know why I still stay here;
You don’t intend to keep me, do you my dear?
Yet past you I still haven’t the nerve to see,
and certainly not the desire.
Yet past you I still haven’t the nerve to see,
and certainly not the desire.
Somehow, as I talk with you once again,
I forget that I only want to be released.
Despite how much I yearn for my reprieve,
I still desire of you what you won’t feel in the least.
I forget that I only want to be released.
Despite how much I yearn for my reprieve,
I still desire of you what you won’t feel in the least.
And although I can’t pretend that it’s your goal,
for you to remain ever-so-cherished while I’m stuck burning,
I wish that you wouldn’t make it happen so well.
Though I admit we both know it’s not truly your doing.

Though I admit we both know it’s not truly your doing.
As obsessed as I still may be,
I know it’s not your trouble to overcome, nor one that you've placed on me.
For upon staring into my own blazing fervor,
I find that you’ll keep me, and I won’t let myself be free.
