Nightshades
Teardrops on the surface
Don't know which way to go
See a single nightshade blooming
Despite the winter snows
Come with me, protected
Secretly unaware
The streams of yore are calling
And you thirst for more
Why do these things have to happen
Why can't we wait until
The night is done, please don't be long
Just know I love you still
So sleepy yet so dreamy
The effort all in vain
I know you want me happy
But still I feel the pain
Why can't I stop this crying
it will be over soon
I know what you are thinking
But I never judged you
Why can I not feel my hands
Why can't I feel my feet
I think I'm losing grip now
I'm in such a defeat
I'm feeling so numb now
I am feeling so cold
The warmth will return to me
That fairytale is old
I don't seem to care anymore
What I have to do
I can't back down, I'll lose my ground
I just want to be with you
Why do I feel rejected
What do I yearn to feel
I'm not myself anymore
But I love you still
