Poems of Valentines Day inspired by opening verse of "Moment of tranquility" by Apoptygma Bezerk

The first verse is the refrain from the song. the rest is my writing.

Your eyes are staring at me
Empty as the sky
In this moment of tranquility
I realize this is goodbye

The feelings that dwell within me
I cannot put into prose
Of everything in the world
I cannot express my love

What goes around comes around
And I know I am a guy
I've come to terms with my delusion
Let me live my lie.

The chains of a broken heart
Cling to the flesh of recovery
The links mar the potential part
that would let you love me

Why must I wallow in a lie
Why do I doom my heart to die?
This sadistic narcissistic self destruction?

Why must I only think of myself
when others need the help?
I cannot win the battle
Someone help me

The love I had once is now gone
I roam the Earth truly alone
The burden I chose to carry breaks me

Your face is in my mind
Your eyes penetrating me
Your whispers linger in my dreams to haunt me

Leave me now please go
I cannot bear your gazes so
they prove my fantasy will die

I want you can't you see
You've stolen a part of me
But the wishes you desire do not include it.

Tell me I am wrong
Tell my why I don't belong
Let me clarify my demons
And I will hang them

Why must I feel this pain?
Never to be loved again
This curse is mine
My personal cross to bear

Long I've yearned to fly free
Long I've wanted you beside me
But dreams are the stuff of fools
A truth but still quite cruel

A chance is all I ask
Ability for the task
I want to tell you that I care.
