Never quite

Hopelessly drift
in the eyes of the ghost again
down on my knees and
my hands in the air again
pushing my face
in the memory of you again
but I never know if it's real
never know how I wanted to feel

never quite said
what I wanted to say to you
never quite managed
the words to explain to you
never quite knew
how to make them believable

and now the time has gone
another time undone

hopelessly fighting
the devil futility
feeling the monster
climb deeper inside of me
feeling him gnawing my heart away hungrily
I'll never lose this pain
never dream of you again
