Don't look hurt like that.
It tears my soul apart.
If I could, I'd sweep all of the pain away.
I'd gladly take it upon myself.
One second of your joy is worth a lifetime of pain to me.

I've dreamed about it.
I wish for it.
Some don't understand my motives.
I am selfish.  I've never said otherwise.
I live for my own pleasure exclusively.
How can I be more happy if you feel no pain?
I can't.

I'll take your pain gladly and without resistance.
You are the reason I exist.
I see myself all throughout you.

Must I hate if I love?
Dark has no meaning without light.
Full has no meaning without empty.
Would you know the meaning of death with only life surrounding you?
That I cannnot answer, though I strive for the answer.
Yet it's there, behind a veil of love and joy.
I hate.

I hate the fact that I can be powerless at times.
I hate the fact that I can't show you how I feel.
I hate building my life around you.
I hate you for what I've done to myself.
So why am I so happy?
