Sweet isn't sweet no more

Let me burn
Please let me burn
In the crazy manifestations of life
Please let me mourn
The sorrow of being a nonentity
The trepidation that came true
The flower that was
Please let me dwell
On the possibility of return
On the life that could be

Another life wasted twisted by others
Hoping to remain as I was
Striving to get what I had
Leading a life none wants
Being a person none wants
Leaving behind nothing
None to stand up for me not even the person I want

The seed that was planted
By mistakes made by others
By prizes reaped by others
Hold me prisoner
To my actions
Only done to please them
Killing myself in the process
For the love that I had
That goes unnoticed

How long can one be kept waiting
How long can one be had wanting
The limit is here the limit is now
It’s all my fault and mine alone
Alone I should bear the burden
Of this long wait
That seems to be thinning my life out
Killing me from the inside
Gnawing at the life that I have left

Someone please tell her I love her
Believing me appears to be the problem
I want to wait I can wait I will wait
But the price I pay for it is in dreams shattered.
