STILL

By: Avery Robertson

Why am I left so alone
do you need to punish me
for not loving you better,
or loving you too much?

Another day is coming,
and all I see is the dark
of endless time crushing
me down ... down.

Were you right when you told me
that no matter what happens,
we will always be the ones
who love more than the world.

Perfect is not for you
Being right is not for me,
tell me again ... to try
and I will.

I am alone and afraid,
wanting to trust you again,
but all I see is words
that have no meaning to me.

Streets are filled with pain
from my many tears,
sky looks down and pitys me
it knows I cannot fly away.

Close my eyes, still my heart,
give me some sort of peace,
Let me drift into that black velvet,
deepness of dreamless sleep.

Let me fly.
I need to fly.
I want to hide.
I love you still.
