What am I to love?
Who am I to hate?
Teach me how you feel
Give me just a taste.
What's it like to live
Without the fear of fate?
My promise to fulfill
I'll bend but I wont break.
          Saddened hearts will tell
          Of battles won and lost
          And tragedies that lie
          Underneath it all.
          I don't believe in hell
          Or impossible costs
          I want to make you mine
          I'll trip but I won't fall.
What am I to give?
Who am I to take?
Teach me what to feel
Or make me sit and wait,
And wonder what its like
To die in fear of fate
Your promise to fulfill
Is lost and laid to waste.
          Brave hearts won't tell
          Of battles won and lost
          Or memories that lie
          Underneath it all.
          I can't believe in hell
          I'll pay impossible costs
          Dare dream to make you mine
          If only to take the fall.

very interesting format...how it offests the reality and surreality of it all. .. the idea vs the ideal. ..

Seems to me you've pretty much summed up the human condition, but with rare eloquence. I like the way you work words.

Holy... (insert whatever word you want to follow that). You just put my current (situation/battles/hopes/fears) into words, and the last 3 lines (of both offsets) were like that punch in the gut that makes it impossible to breathe.

Put it all on the line and regret nothing regardless of the outcome, without the leap, you've lost the faith, good luck :)
