BROKEN SOLDIER

Your boundaries overlap my admiration
I strike with force upon the being that fed me
I hunger for your neglect, your unwilling attention
I feel like a wounded soldier upon this battlefield

Had I known I would be a prisoner of war
I am not sure I would have taken this road
For I am surely on the wrong path

Had I known I would not win
I would have been a coward among many broken men
I would have hid alone in a crowded room
With no one to even notice I was there

But I thought I had what I wanted
I thought I could conquer you
But I am broken
Just a shard of glass inside of you
I cut you but you do not bleed

Your boundaries restrict the untouchable
I search blindly for what has gone
I condemn you to hear my sorrowful cry

I yearn for the nectar of your forbidden fruit
I call to the wild where I was lost

Had I known you would leave me
I would not have followed so closely

Had I only known you'd die
I would have been the first to go

I thought I had you here, but really you were never with me
I thought I could hold you, but I merely blew out the flame

Had I known I would become a broken soldier on this battlefield inside your heart
I would have loved you a little more
