PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE ME

There's awareness
Remembrance of the mind
Slim validation
Of all you recognize

Then comes the veiling
The spirit in you leaves
The pretender rises
And you're lost to me

I throw the walls up
Guard of injured hearts
To grieve then harden
Recoil and depart

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I rightfully deny 
Protest and disagree
I appeal to God
Implore He let her be
The living soul of past
Love and stability
Before abandonment
Of sensibility
And I plead
Plead 
Plead
Please acknowledge me
~~*~~

Imparted misery
Why not just take her home
You left her broken
Deception of a whole

Did you believe somehow
That it would be enough
Display a phantom glimpse
Of all she's been to us

I dig the nails in
Can't comprehend at all
Crippling pain assails
Shaking the frail walls
~~~*~~~
She was passionate
So keen and dignified
Not a feeble being
Anguish why-filled eyes

When she looks through me
I search in their depths
Try to draw her back 
But there's so little left

I remain absent
It plagues me either way
Knowing she'd rather die
Than to exist this way

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Please acknowledge me
I know it's not impossible for you...
There are worse tragedies
But I've never felt as helpless as I do
I know that you can heal
She needs a miracle, that's why I plead
Please acknowledge me
Oh, please acknowledge me
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I rightfully deny 
Protest and disagree
I appeal to God
Implore He let her be
The living soul of past
Love and stability
Before abandonment
Of sensibility
And I plead
Plead 
Plead
Please acknowledge me
