The Dark Side of Me

Author: turnip73

Why am I not enough?
Why must you seek beyond?
It's all in you hands,
And still you break that bond.

When did I fade from you,
Like an apparition in the wind?
When will the final blow,
Make it impossible to mend?

Somewhere in the darkness,
I lie awake and think of you.
Somewhere in the darkness,
I wonder why we're here.
Bleeding inside,
Someplace to hide,
Somewhere in the darkness.

Why do you cry to me?
What more do you need?
I give it all to you,
I cut myself and bleed.

When did it all come apart,
And turn into my own hell?
When will you want me?
When will you not rebel?

Somewhere in the darkness,
I lie awake and think of you.
Somewhere in the darkness,
I wonder what is true.
Bleeding inside,
Someplace to hide,
Somewhere in the darkness.
