Just Look My Way (Stolas' lament)

It is expected

An oath by blood to hold the tome

And the starlight passes overhead

Fuels all the skills I've honed

I am a guardian

A watcher of these ancient rites

Yet, I find myself drawn from that path

On those dazzling moonlit nights

Let me hold you, keep you close to me

I long to hear your voice

Come now, my little impish plaything

We both made our choice

I can give you everything you need

Or do you want to hear me plead?

Just look my way, just look my way

Is there something more that I don't know

That you won't say 'til we've both grown cold?

Just say, "Please stay"

Look my way

This unspoken contract

A deed we forged for mutual gain

If that's all this was, when you're not here

What is this rooted pain?

I don't care that you're of lower station

Or primed to sate my dark temptations

Why can't you understand?

Let me explain

'Cause I'm terrified, as I cry

To make these feelings true

What's left for me in this broken house

If I cannot have you?

I'll give you everything you need

What more is there? What more to plead?

Just look my way, just look my way

What can there be that I don't know?

Will you never tell or be so bold?

Just say, "please stay"

Look my way

Unless it's me?

And no matter what in this world I could give

It's not enough

To get through the walls, you've conjured up to live

Is this how she'd feel?

Abandoned, all alone and left to fend for herself

For some semblance of happiness that doesn't have to end

I will try to make amends

For making you means to an end

So, look my way, please, look my way

And if there's something more that I don't know?

I'll save us both before we grow cold
