given up on love

here was one thing I needed
there was one thing I wanted
the only thing in my life
that meant anything for me

but... I've...

given up on love
given up on affection
my ember has burnt up
was extinguished by the light

there was one thing in my head
but now that it wished me dead
in the memories I fled
but still... IT WANTS ME DEAD

THERE WERE... so many things
I would have done right,
if i only had
the chance to do so...
