Simply Complicated Love

I love you
not for who you are
but who you're not
you could abuse me
and you have
and I'll take it
I'll swallow your lies
and all of your deceit
if only I could have you here with me
you're far away
so out of reach
quietly haunting me
you're the sand
slipping through my hands
and I want you more
than you can understand
I'll sail the sea to see you
I'll break down every wall
you're lost and broken
your memories stolen
and I don't want it that way
perhaps I was a quiet observer
watching it all fall away
you made me cry with your sincerity
but once again
I sleep to the thought of you
you encompass my world
you sing to me through other means
and string me up like pearls
I want to be your everything
you one and only light
you have so many other dreams
I watch them all take flight
can you see a new horizon
I am the distant coast
you are all around me
I'm followed by your ghost
am I the one you love the most?
Don't boast
you won me over
but not for long
tell me something
send me a sign because
primarily I'm just waiting for a line.
