People say that you’re bad for me

I can’t help but disagree 

You take away my spark, and help me give up 

To me, you are the empty half of the cup

Now all I wish is for the cup to be empty 

For my hope to disintegrate in thee

All hope gets me is salt upon my wounds

Come back and I will revel in your boons

Forgetfulness, apathy, despair and spite

Things that come to me when you’re in sight 

They drive others away, something I want

For it’s from them my mistakes always haunt

What I see in others is merely a projection

From my own flawed self, I need a distraction

For this is the reason I’ve come to plea

When you’re with me, for others I have no need

You trap me in your suffocating embrace

You put down my hopes, and my problems I won’t face

For you are the only one for which I’m worthy

So come back to me, for I wait for thee
