My Only True Love

People take the love of a true soldier on wall on
They laugh at me, feel for me
But never really cared for me
I turn my back on the only love
I ever had only to be passed on by the Mad Hater
I failed but so many tell me I only passed
My eyes grow glossy at the thought
Of losing someone I love so much
But in time I find myself growing stronger
I give my heart to my race
Because they really love me
It's a cold world and ruthless enough to be cold
Just like it will make it
So I lift up my head, turn my eyes back to the sky
The air that's been blowing into the nose
Of that sleeping Beast let it run freely
Because it is me and I am it
Love lives no more in this shell
Want it besides my only true love
