lovers lament
here
one
moment
,
there's
all
hope
you
won't
be
gone
the
next
i'm
just
afraid
of
riding
this
crest
of
hope
only
to
crash
into
the
surf
and
be
lost
beneath
the
surface
my
body's
a
furnace,
and
the
heat
is
consuming
me
i
just
need
your
touch
,
your
kiss
to
conform
this
bliss
isn't
some
misunderstanding
are
you
handing
me
your
heart
or
serving
mine
up
for
more
pain
i'm
going
insane
until
i
see
your
face
till
you're
on
my
side
of
the
world
until
the
tide
takes
me
prisoner
or
cuts
me
loose
to
lie
gasping
on
the
sand
dry
land
never
interested
me
i
want
to
lose
myself
in
the
sea
of
your
eyes
i
want
blue
skies
for
awhile
i've
exiled
myself
from
the
world
of
the
living
but
the
love
you've
given
me
is
like
a
pardon
from
the
wasteland
i'm
just
used
to
watching
for
the
quicksand
offer
me
your
hand
and
lift
me
out
of
this
we
could
exist
on
a
higher
level
of
consciousness
away
from
the
emptiness
of
this
place
i
need
your
grace
to
save
me
the
light
that
you
gave
me
could
shine
through
the
darkest
night
give
me
sight
where
i
used
to
stumble
i'm
troubled
by
the
uncertainty
of
it
all
i
didn't
want
to
let
down
the
walls
don't
take
my
uncertainty
personally
i'm
just
afraid
of
holding
onto
a
meteor
as
it
falls
scared
of
this
burning
out
before
it
hits
the
atmosphere
of
being
scalded
by
your
brilliance
scared
of
the
consequences
of
letting
my
heart
roam
free
i
don't
want
to
be
just
another
waste
of
time
i
want
to
be
the
love
of
your
life
