piTy mE

by Leokadia (Pisces) - Not entered

Drop me to my knees
I need someone to show me where me life will lead
Want someone to take hold of my heart
So that maybe it won't bleed
And I want to thrust my all into a dream
I want to need.

Pity me, kind stranger
For you know not who I am
Or what I shall become
But your ignorance, it warms my heart
And I'm yearning for someone
So much that it doesn't matter who
Or why
The world can be so cruel
Help me make it die

Push me backwards into the past
Back then I could believe you 
When you promised it wouldn't last
It was beautiful to find faith
Even though I would never know you
But I would scrape my soul for happiness
For something new to show you
Someone take pride in me
And credit yourself for my accomplishment
I feel so close to you it brings tears to my eyes
I can almost believe these ridiculous lies
And I will
Because oh yes, you truly are at my side
What need have I to hide?

Pity me
For a creature of such pathetic discontent such as I
Have lost touch with the aesthetic relevance
In the crumbling world in which I dwell
My dreams have barred the doorways
My heart is now my cell
And if only...

Sigh.

Pity me,
For I cannot do it myself
Nor anything...
But tell me that's okay
And like a ritual
A precarious routine
I'll lock away my identity behind a movie screen
It's the least I can do
For you who pities me
I shall become what you want me to be...

Alone--

So you have someone to pity,
And I'll make you forget your pathetic nature
Your loss of aesthetic treasure
It's my role
It's my goal
The desecration of my very soul
Take it over, because I know you question
My ability, as well as my lust
For control...
Take it over
Take me over
And find something new to pity
All over again.

What a pity.
