Of Love or Lust

Perhaps I don't want to give what you can't take
Perhaps I don't want to see what it is that you fake
I want to know but you don't want to show
And I guess that's your choice and your choice alone
Regardless of whether of not I understand...
You know, it's been said that the heart cries in silence
Yet it rejoices in the same manner
So it is true that appearances are deceiving
And things are not always what they seem
I wish that this wasn't all there was between us
I wish that this would not keep us apart
But, it would seem there is a rack
And I feel it is time for me to bow my head
And be done with this, once and for all...
It isn't about what I feel or don't feel
It isn't a matter of love or lust
It has to do with an emptiness, a hole, a void
It has to do with that place, and what should be there
Instead of the stinging silence that remains...
