This Time

Motivation turns to dust
I feel my joints begin to rust
It's in your words, I cannot trust
I'll say goodbye if I must

But I can't just simply walk away
When you're begging me to stay
This pain, it taunts me every day
I'm running out of words to say

Can't you see it's hard to breathe
Can't you see it's killing me
I've fallen back unto my knees
All of this, I could not foresee

The lies and pain and words unspoken
Take my heart, although it's broken
To show my love, this is a token
Of a jealous beast, I'm now awoken

Be my saviour, take my hand
Let us fly to Neverland
I beg, "don't let go," as my legs disband,
"Without your help, I cannot stand"

Ease the beast inside my heart
I never want to be apart
This is where we were supposed to start
The feel of loneliness is much too tart

So, this time, I hope for smiles instead of pain
A ray of sun instead of rain
A feeling of pride instead of shame
So, this time, I'll win Love's game
