Simple things,

For simple minds,

Wrench the pain from this empty chest,

You walk ever alone,

Making a fool from a star,

The enigmatic nature,

Of all that you are,

I lie awake at night,

Gaze at the sky,

I can't help but ask,

Why,

I can't take my eyes off you,

From dusk until dawn,

From dawn until dusk,

The thoughts on my mind,

Are of nothing but you,

I wish they weren't,

But what can I do,

The loss that I feel,

Is nothing if not true,

And I'm sorry,

I'm a drop in the ocean,

This story is yours,

I'm a footnote to be forgot,

On the tale of your years,

I'll shed no more tears,

And forgo the conclusion,

Until comes the time,

Where you can forgive all that I am,

The fable of life,

Yours,

Not mine.
