Hello, I'm your Martyr

This was taken from some where else. No, I did not write it.

I say I love you. You don't need to believe me and your belief is not really necessary to me. Odds are that I just needed to say it to get it off my chest. I just wanted you to hear it, whether you believe it or not. I know it's true. I can feel it in the way my heart beats faster when you're around. I know it by the hole that's left behind when you're not. The truth is an ache I feel to have you by my side. It's the comfort of knowing that you care. It's the perfect bliss I experience when you touch me. I know it's true. You probably do to.

Lying in my bed
I hear the clock tick,
and think of you
caught up in circles
confusion-- is nothing new
Flashback--warm nights--
almost left behind
suitcases of memories, time after--

sometimes you picture me--
I'm walking too far ahead
you're calling to me,
I can't hear what you've said--
Then you say--go slow--
I fall behind--
the second hand unwinds

if you're lost you can look--
and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you--
I'll be waiting
time after time
