Although it doesn’t matter
I want you to know
That my attraction to you
Was not based on carnal desire
Right from the start
I always believed
That the two of us
Could have a real future together
While I kept all this from you
It weighed me down so much
And it’s suddenly worse
Now my secret’s uncovered
Knowing that you inspire me so much
But I don’t for you
It’s such a heavy blow
From which I have to recover
Sometimes I might search
For someone to blame
And I may get angry
Both at you and myself
And I just can’t shake the feeling
That somehow I’ve failed
I’ll soon sink again
Into my own private hell
I keep on scratching
For a hope that’s not there
We’ve already reached
This tale’s final chapter
And as much as it aches
I have to accept
My first true love story
Has no ever after
You will always be
An earthbound angel to me
But a wretched serpent
Is like how I feel
Cold around your shoulders
Whispering poison promises
As my black tongue
Flicks in your ear
But now and again
I’ll come back to sense
I want to be part of your life
I don’t want to lose what we have
But for now I am volatile
Which will take time to change
I hope that you’ve got
The patience she never had
