further & further.

i climb further & further within
the self
my self
& leave you behind

you push me further & further away
from you
from us
& let me go, alone

i reach further & further for you
to cling
to grasp your heart

you turn further & further from me
to save
to maintain life

i scream a cry
of hopelessness
& wish for love
to hear me too

you scream a cry
it's uselessness
puts me further away
from you

& so you push
& so i push
& so you push away

& so, my dear
it happens here
& so i wish you'd stay

i climb further & further within
the self
your self
& hide inside

as i child i crawl further in & in
to you
to us
don't let me go

tearfully, i clutch my fear
& latch onto you like a leech
stealing your energy
making you need me
oh please, don't leave me be

innocently, you clutch your fear
& latch onto me like a leech
stealing my love from me
making you need me
oh please, don't leave me be
