Emilie Autumn - A Plea to the Dying (Poem) lyrics

So that's it then? The rumor is you've moved on without me You do not suffer as I do It is so clear What can I do? Yet, I will reach you somehow With my mind, all I have I will invade your dreams I will not ask if it is right I do not care if you must see me dance Winning out No, I cannot touch you... But I will reach beyond dimension Beyond realm Beyond memory to touch you In some small way Tell me, "I beg you to stop." Stop and think what you are doing Is it what you want? Is it what you think you are supposed to want? Is it the only comfort you have ever known? Do you feel safe? You were right to want this And I am wrong to want to stop you But you need not make this move Who says you must? If you love, if she loves Why ask the world to take notice? Just let it be And come loving out of choice, not duty Am I so blind? What do I not see when I look at her that you do? Do I? Do you not know That everything you ever wished for Everything you were afraid to say Out loud Everything you hate and desire And will never understand Lies in one who would never be brave enough to tell you Can you but open your eyes for one single Shining moment and see yourself in the light that I do? Can you not see that you are the answer to all my fears And I can feel safe with you? And yes, I have my daggers and scars And everything that would keep you back But if you make this move You've closed a door that will never re-open And I will not pa** through it anymore And I can tell you a life lived in waiting Is far better than a life content in the knowledge Of what is certain to never be Can you not wait? Can you not be brave and see beyond this moment Beyond this sense of comfort you feel? See your life open before you Trusting in things to come Believing that they will be worth the wait And thrilling in the idea that you have no idea What the next dream will bring you Now, I am here with you See my eyes as you have so many times before See the way I look at you See what you have always, but never dared to show Believe in your power to get what you dream of Even when it is the very thing you fear The thing no other man can hope to attain Look inside your heart and see written there The name of her you love Who is it that fascinates you? Who is it that knows you better than you, yourself? Who is it that will be waiting at the end At the end of the path with a smirk and a sarcastic comment And a kiss on the neck? Don't leave me...
