Watching Not Doing

I spent my life without love
Learned I'd not earned my way
I was longing for another's touch
But I had been lost in the haze
Being crazed with loneliness
Living a life wearing a mask
My existence a pretense
Rather than the reality that lasts
I've fallen from view
Despite the depths of truth
Watching others know
I'd mistaken love for lust
And I can't escape my zoo
Imprisoned in a cage
Lost in the rage
Of never having enough
Everything I touch turned dust
Everything I loved lost
From here to eternity's gate
