I don’t even know you’re there
But somehow you show me that you care
Forsaken – what I ought to be
Yet without you there, you seem to comfort me
I’ve committed terrible disgrace
Can’t excuse myself with “It’s only a phase”
Forsaken – what I ought to be
Yet for countless times you seem to shelter me
I find myself in the dark
And I won’t even call your name
But for some unknown reason
You give me something to breathe on
And I realize you’re there just the same
People treat you like a king
People see you as some sort of savior
I don’t see you that way
Would you be mad
Or would that be okay?
I criticize those who praise you
Don’t even know if I believe you’re true
Forsaken – what I ought to be
I don’t call, yet you’re there for me
Don’t know if I consider you a friend
I even laugh at you every now and then
Forsaken – what I ought to be
And what exactly did you see in me?
I find myself in the dark
And I won’t even call your name
But for some unknown reason
You give me something to live on
And I realize you’re there just the same
People treat you like a king
People see you as some sort of savior
I don’t see you that way
Would you be mad
Or would that be okay?
I don’t know what I am to you
Don’t know if I even give you what is due
Why aren’t you forsaking me?
Perhaps you’re really who I believed you to be
People treat you like a king
People see you as some sort of savior
I don’t see you that way
Would you be mad
Or would that be okay?
But I know for sure that it would be okay.
(This poem – meant to be a song – was written in April 2003, when I was struggling with being an Agnostic.)
it had a tune but the tune sucked hehehe so i thought, better keep it as a poem then.
Ah, I was going to ask if this was a song lyric because of the repetitive refrain elements but you already answered that bit in the footnotes 🙂 Hope it'll evolve into a full song someday
