Do you really want to know What I expected From this fabric of my life The sordid sprawl I know that I will be left at last To the form of an abandoned shell I only ever tried to break the chains A clock and the time A single thing that gives both equal ground At the end of empathy But then again, love of both still exists It's just looked at in different ways Loving you is expecting reality from you In exchange for my love I offer hope of anything I would trade my story for your life
