The Way to Love

Before… the way
I’m looking down
Without a sound

Call it what you will
Shy or nervous
Without purpose
Wishing to be under the surface
Of this Earth
Because my heart you’ll steal
Pretty girl

Across… the way
Not so far
But never where you are

Wherever
On the Internet
A picture I can’t forget
Dreaming in bed
In a house not a home
Never us together
I’m always alone

Why… the way
Maybe you’re out of luck
Horny, want to fuck

I’m not lost
But undiscovered
Want to be your lover
It’s you and no other
Heart makes a mess of things
Loving you cost
And I get nothing

How… the way
I see love
And you see not enough

Of course no one’s perfect
But amazing
You save me
To slay me
With your own hand
Are we worth it?
You’ll never understand

And after… the way
Mad, bad, glad, sad
It’s not like we ever had…

Love
But these thoughts, feelings, my intuition
How I’m freed from all my inhibitions
Lost to angels and devils, your apparition
Haunting me
As always from above
Because I can’t see

A way for anyone
To love me
