Influence
Is fleeting
The things we can change
Are within
We cannot push the boundaries
We cannot change the past
Accept what it is
Accept yourself
Others don't influence
What makes you, you
The death of you
Dwells within
I hoped to accommodate
The wished within
I hoped to accelerate
The fire within
I was wrong
So very wrong
The fight
Is in you
I can only provide the basis
By which you can choose
If it's me or you
Or the death of me and you
I am still here
not that it matters
I am still here
Longer than anyone
I am
Not enough
I am just an imposter
For you
I am
The one who had been here
I am
The fool who believed
I am
There is no control
1, 2, 3 ,4
I feel the beat
The drive to the melody
I felt the verse before the chorus
I lived the verses in order
I forgot the holdover
The hook, the cut, the memory
I forgot
me
You wanted to find love
It's been so very long
You want to feel the freedom
You want to be wanted
Little did you know
That the secret to love
Is inside you
It's been there forever
The only thing to know
About love
is that you get
what you give
What you give
I tried to be a hero
I was wrong
So wrong , I can't explain
You wouldn't get it
There is nothing
Stopping your love
There is nothing
Keeping you down
Little did you know
That the secret to love
Is inside you
It's been there forever
You get what you give
What you give
Whatever you are willing
To connect with
To part with
To be with
To alleviate
To elevate
To be a
Part of
Love isn't something you get
It's something you give
There was a slit
In the timeline
I burst through
Like an atom bomb
The metal of creation
Burns deep within
The carbon form
Takes shape
Don't count me out
Don't count on me
I'm a figment
Interdimensional Being
Drips of uncertainty
Interdimensional Being
All about me
Breathe the breath of life
Exhale the waste of yesterday
Inhale hope and dreams
Export existential reach
I'm a figment
Take my hand
I lead you far away
Take my hand
There nothing left anyway
I tried to make it about you
But I'm an
Interdimensional Being
A being
Within the realm of possibility
Without the realm of nothingness
I am a being
I am
Interdimensional
Being
Feed my love
Feed my soul
Feed me
I am
Still
Always
Forever
yours
I am
Above
Beyond
and below
comprehension
I am
absolute
Undeterred
Unfortunate
I
Am
part
12
again
So dependable, to a fault
Irrefutable, I am not
But I've been here
Standing in your way
I've stayed here
No matter how you swayed
And like the sunrise
I will be here in the morning
Like the sunrise
In mourning
Like the sunrise
I will help you greet the day
Like the sunrise
It is the only way, for me
Shh
The time to speak has passed
The moment, like so many others
Gone
In an instant
A blink of the eye
And the world moves on
Completely
Incoherently
Gone
I hoped for so much better
I prayed for your return
Instead, I received nothing
Not a word
Forlorn
Between the silences
Beneath the shadows tall
I hid from you
I hid from me
Gone
The sunlight warm
The moonlight cool
the in-between
So smooth
And uneventful
I long for the friction
the Passion
the heat
before
we're
Gone
I am here
I have been here
I have moved on from one chapter
I have moved into another
I have slipped and damaged
myself
I am
drinking too much again
For reasons you wouldn't
understand
I am
still here
still lonely
still wondering what it would be like
to be adored the way I adore
To be admired
To truly be
appreciated
I am
still
I am old
I am dying
while living
I am a stupid optimist
I am a fool
I am a man of means
to an end
I am a man
I am
Like Batman bending the rules
I tried to make it work for me
Aboard this ship of fools
How did that work for me?
I seek justice
I seek love
I seek forgiveness
Push came to shove
Like Batman
I'm gone in the night
Like Batman
A dark night
The comics got it wrong
There is nothing worth it
No true love song
No redemption to be had
I seek justice
I seek love
I seek truth
Like Batman
Never had I been so alone
Unsheltered against the cold
Never had I wished I had gone
And gave up all hope
I forgave your sins
You count mine
I forgave your indiscretions
You weaponized mine
Like Batman
Seeking Vengeance
Seeking Justice
Punishing those who love
Who gave you everything
I seek justice
I seek love
I seek forgiveness
Push came to shove
Like Batman
I'm gone in the night
Like Batman
A dark knight
I was there
did you see me?
did you feel my presence
in the room?
I was there
Did you want me
did you care that
I wanted you?
I am here
and I see me
and you
for what you truly are
I am here
and I feel used
and alone
And out of reach
There is nothing more I can do
without losing more and more of myself
There is nothing more I can give
Without fading into the darkness
There is nothing more
for me to do
except finally get out of the way
get out from being
under
your foot
