Sap through the leaves of these ever-lasting trees
My love for you floats on the soft cool breeze
It floats far, it floats near, it dances through the trees
And brings me down upon my bruised knees
I’m down here for you, my heart cut in two
One piece for me, and another for you
Mine infused red, but yours growing blue
It’s oxygen-starved, with its pallid pale hue
How did I get here, and what do I fear?
My knees hurt, my posture slumps and my eyes fill with tears
I know you’ll never love me back, it’s futile being here
These are the truths that taunt me, their veracity grows clear
But still I kneel down, and here I will stay
My heart yearns and my stomach churns for yet another day
She’s foolish and lives in a fantasy land, I hear everyone say
But perhaps one day you’ll look at me and my devotion will hold sway
Are you okay tonight, or are you filled with fright?
Was it me? Now I see, that I’ve added to your plight
I told you I could be intense, it seems that forewarning was right
So I’ll hold myself back from flooding you with love, I’ll do this with all of my might
