If Only…

Forgive me for I don’t know the deepest wounds of your past
But wash them with my tears
Forgive me for I cannot tell you something just for fun
But I tremble in fear
Forgive me just because I don’t know
You never told
How could I feel it deep in your mind?
How should I find it so deep inside?

Forgive me
For I cry now
Forgive me
As tears flow
And I cannot stop this howling within
Forgive me for I hurt
For all this love

Do you see it still in me?
Can you read my mind?
Do you see it deep within?
My pain and helplessness
As I cannot say a word against yours
I’m torn open for you before you, do you see?

Naked and helpless
Armless
With a sword for you to treat me as you wish
To live forever by your side even if I perish
Do you feel me as I feel you?
If only you felt how much I love you…
