I once walked down through the gates of a garden the path was clear yet I stumbled I once walked through a doorway The door was shut yet I passed I fed myself on love once I ate its hollow insides I felt of its bitter sweetness without it touching my tongue I cried your name when I awoke once always a tear streaming down my face I sang with a smile for your soul Only to be stripped of mine I have become anemic for you I once needed to feel you near me To hear your voice mingle with mine To see the pain in your soul echo my own I have become anemic once again for I diet on the pain of lies |
