Diomedean Exchange Libitina

Ive surrendered so much Ive forgotten to live



You ask for too much



But what do you give?



The scales now fall from before my eyes



And I can see through your artifice



Finally the truth has dawned upon me



And with its light



I can clearly see



That I am alone when I am with you



To my feelings I can never be true



Seeds of doubt will never bear fruit



And so it is our love follows suit







I can give no more



I need something back



And you seem unable to relieve my lack



The giving has just been all on one side



And no one can tell me I have not tried



I see from the past I must cut loose



The time of my going I will choose



A letting of blood and an end to pain



My life in this way I will regain







I cant look on you in the same way now



Absolutes have turned to relatives



And I am consumed by a family of doubts



I can hear whispers through the shouts



Sounds and tones that, whilst discordant



Raise me from my slumber dormant



Your fell deeds make a lie of your words



To say you love me seems absurd



And I will laugh as I have the heart



The will to end this and make a new start







I can give no more



I need something back



And you seem unable to relieve my lack



The giving has just been all on one side



And no one can tell me I have not tried



I see from the past I must cut loose



The time of my going I will choose



A letting of blood and an end to pain



My life in this way I will regain







Surrounded by lotus



But wracked by pain



On my waking life it has left its stain



While much of my suffering has gone unseen



The truth is again that I have been



Laid low by the sacrifice I have made for you



The help I needed I think you knew



Bowed under the yoke



A crippling weight



These wounds youll see far too late



Sadly I know theyll not go unwept



Blame the promises you have not kept
