[not The Man, You Think I Am] Poem by Empath In flames

The vibrational dreams,
Inflict my mind.
As I lie here thinking of you…
These cold dark nights,
Seem to only fade.
In a pain throughout my heart.
I will wither away,
Slide mislaid…
As for rejection I fear,
Deeper than death.

My slumber weakens,
My thoughts.
As you await for me.
Looking for an answer,
Searching for a clue…

I'm not the man,
You think I am.
Perceived a coward,
Be loathed an observer…
But never a man,
I wish for you,
To think I was.
A lover…
Through the eyes
To be loved.

I want you…
I need you…
But.. I can't have you.

For as much as this pain,
Suffocates my breath.
Until this heart rate,
Stops to where I stand.
And I fall,
To my last
Renouncing stance.

I will reach for you…
I would glace at you…

But…
I can't have you.
I can never be..

~The man I wish,
For you to see…~
