the wilting tree

I'll just watch you drift away into the sea
Like all those leaves from that dying tree.
Let it wither and die like our love,
Let the water shimmer like your tears.

Come watch the sunset with me.
You will see not the stars dying in space freely.
Come watch the night with me
And you'll never see the lies you've sown in me.

Dim the lights like the times the sun forgot us
Lay in my arms and be carefree
When tomorrow comes
You'll finally witness
What your carelessness has done to me.

Venture my forest of darkness
There you'll see a stone.
Your fate is to harness
The stone and take the throne.

Build an empire in my heart
So that you can control my fears.
Watch me crumble in the dark
And think that you've silenced all my tears.

Watch this universe you've created in me disappear.
Gaze upon the kingdom you've built
Just to watch it shatter in fear.

Only then you'll see that your wants causes an imbalance.
Only then you'll stop your malice.
