gazing

by Dan - Not entered

My gaze hurts and I know
You turn your face away
I know the pain I caused
I wish it could leave me be.

Everything plagues my soul
It claws and claws and won't let go
my dreams are filled with you
for you, everything I'd do

My mind wanders and roams
it always returns to you
I hear the claws scratching
in pain I'll always be

my body aches and my mind is sore
still, all I want is more
I wish to say I've changed
but this is still the same

The damage is done
it plagues my heart
I don't crave another
I want a brand new start

You turn away again
my gaze is still patient
emotions rack my brain still, 
I bear this pain

I feel it will never leave
or suppress itself with darkness
my body aches, my mind is sore
and still, I crave more

You go along unnerving
while my love boils in me
you pretend I'm not there
and all I can do is stare.

Reason for writing:

    break up with girlfriend
