This isn't for me.

[azigazi]

I reiterate...Just in case it matters. This isn't for me; it's something I wrote watching people on my floor and because I feel like I have enough insight to comment. That said, I'll stop talking and um...talk. Or, I guess, rewrite for your perusal. : P

Sweet pain, swift cutting clarity,
the knife has passed from you to me.
I've watched your world fall down - and now
I'm ready to take that plunge.
The light, the dark, the beautiful
the blood, the newly reverential
I walk your path and seek to learn
what loneliness has to teach.

I tried so hard, but I could not save you
so instead I'll just follow you down.
My light's gone out and we're one with the darkness
if you lead, I'll just follow you down.

Seduction is the search for feeling
in a world that has no meaning
I've lost the will to lie - but still
I cannot face the truth.
My life, our hopes, and all creation
damn the path that we have taken
and there can be no safe return,
though bitterly we try.

I tried so hard, but I could not save you
so instead I'll just follow you down.
My light's gone out and we're one with the darkness
if you lead, I'll just follow you down.
