To Make You See

If only I had the fire-
Strong enough to melt
the ice in your stare lately...
Don't you see that it's all
fading,
falling from the heights it
finally reached?
My power is only so strong
and my heart is only hoping
that we'll survive.
Your smile began as a hope-
far off in reality,
but always close to my heart.
Your heart was my prize-
that I finally won after all
these games I've played.
To make you see
I'm drowning
in my own sea of doubt
in an ocean of tears
in a river of confusion-
while you drift through
a sky of oblivion,
blind to my fears
deaf to my voice
numb to my pain.
