Save the drowning soul

My heart doesn't bleed, it burns
It aches for a feeling, a feeling which eludes it
Deep down it is becoming hardened
Preparing for a transition...

Use my time wisely for it may never be there
I'm no toy, I'm a man seeking to be loved
You may ignore me because you can today
Tomorrow you might seek me in my away

I have tasted the recipe of solitude
I am slowly adapting to an absent presence
One step at a time it may seem
Until another takes everything from within

These are the cries of a broken soul
Broken by the one supposed to guard it
Continue to ignore my plight
One day, you might give me the courage to take flight

There is a soul that desperately seeks love
But even the love seems like a distant memory
It aches and burns deep within the confines of the soul
A man desperate for some peace and love.
