The Corner Boy

Hey, boy over in the corner of my two cement walls;
Why do you sit there every day and stare at me?
Cause boy, I can tell you’re the type who’d have his own walls
His own to sit against and re-think all his broken dreams
The dreams that he wanted so bad to fix;
That was shattered on the cement floor in a million pieces.
Boy, why do you sit by my walls all day, every day, wandering in your mind while trying to run away?
You know I can see you over there, because you’ve been watching me.
All day long you’ve been watching me, studying my every move.
And boy, I can’t explain why, but it really doesn’t bother me.
When I wake up on the other side of the room I look forward to seeing your blank face watching me. It helps keep me alert through the day.
I can see you over there; you’ve been painting your pictures on my walls- just as I’ve been painting mine.
And as I look over both of ours, I can see they grow similar over time.
O boy, why won’t you talk to me? Why won’t you open up to me?
Is it because of all the failed times when you tried to tape together another broken dream?
Because boy, I’m not like that; I’m different from all those girls
I’ve almost fallen many times, but I eventually come out of the world
The sin that’s grasped all the others no longer has its hold on me
Because a long time ago I gave up on all my broken dreams
I threw them out the window of the sin wagon I was on
Then crashed it into a lake and watched it as it burned
O boy in the corner between my two cement walls, why wont you let me catch you as you fall?
Everyday I look at you and see something in your eyes
A look of sorrow within happiness I can tell you’ve been despised
You’re body looks unused, but the way you hold yourself
Tells me that inside you’ve been drained and all worn out
You’re numb in pain, you’re drenched but dry, you’re asleep while you’re awake
Boy I think you were on that wagon when I crashed it in the lake
If I’ve somehow hurt you by something that I’ve done
O boy, find it in your heart to forgive me because I know that you’re the one
You’re mouth opens, and you want to know “what the hell do I want?”
I want your love, your life, your pain, your bruises, cuts and all
To be mine to carry for you while you hold me as we fall
O boy, I’d gladly fall with you down to the Hell of fire
And throw all our pain and sorrow in with the unholy liar
Boy can’t you see how I love you so? How for you I’d burn my soul
All I want in return is for you to call me your own
And hold me, kiss me, love me like you’ve never loved before
Because boy, you know I’m good for you, you know what I can do
I want our lives to merge into one life that’s good for you
I’ll find a way, I promise boy, if you’d just hold me close
And in your sweet embrace the million opened doors will close
Leaving us just one to pass on through, hand in hand
O boy, and through this door will be our very own land
That we can rule and share together before our time comes to an end
I love you boy, now can’t you see how long I’ve been waiting for you?
It’s been so long, just please stand up and give me the honest truth
Am I good enough for you, or should I go back to my corner?
Are you too absorbed in your closed mind to give me a chance, O lingerer?
You say you wander the earth and you won’t be there for me
But the way I see it- I could come with and you could show me everything you see
There is a way around everything in and on this world
But are you willing to take the chance and love me the way you should?
O boy over in my corner, kiss me; call me yours
And we’ll retreat into our minds where this fantasy was born.
I’ve woken up, I look to my corner, but he was never there.
He’s been long gone, for many years, the life we never shared
Is shattered on my cement floor, all around my feet
It’s collecting dust in my dark asylum along with my broken dreams
And now at last I have the strength to let myself break down
And crying in hysterics, this is how I drown.
I drown myself in my silver tears; they look like unicorn blood
And when I died, he was there waiting for me above
He smiled and held me tight as we shared our first kiss
Even after death, it was something I did not want to miss
The look on his face, he finally smiled and called me his very own
And standing in heaven, in his strong arms, it finally felt like home
