Tell Me

Will you set me free?
Beyond tales of love & woes,

That lie within you & me

As I seek answers to the questions of life.

Tell me, Will you set me free?

From bonds of love that I once built,

One-sided, but true, and pure to the hilt.

And the fear, of losing you.

I know you don't care,

For you, I am just one of many.

But for me you remain,

A reflection.

Of a shadow that I once chased,

of innocence, free from guile.

Do I want you?

Nothing could be farther from the truth.

And why should I lie?

I do not want you, I need you.

To make me yours, and never leave.

But that is now just a shadow,

Beyond anyone's reach.

Tell me, Will you set me free?

Dreams? I killed them.

Mercilessly, because they were my own.

I couldn't stand anyone else doing so.

And now only you remain,

between me and my quest.

To conquer death. 

Tell me, Will you set me free?
