Praying For a Sequel
I cry her name in a heat of rage,
Then smile and think of better days.
The times when we were joined as one,
Times when it meant more than an act of fun.
A month when heart and soul had meaning,
A minute when I thought I'd stopped bleeding.
Awakaning fantasy adn silencing fear.
Her whispered words were all I could hear.
A quiet calm within the storm
A place in my heart, for her, was formed.
Jealousy, hatred, wanting and pride...
Emotions of mine that couldn't subside.
The door was shut, the lock put in place.
I couldn't bear for you to see my face.
Paranioa and absence, depression and love
I led you to believe I had all of the above.
But I'm a weak man full of loathing and shame
And I let us disapear like a brief summer's rain.
Yet now the clouds have parted and I've seen the ray of sun
There used to be a few, but now there's only one.
I'm afraid she'll go away and leave me dark and cold
But something strong has held her there, and I should be so bold...
To eclipse the sun with all I've got, to show her how I care
Tell her why I said goodbye while wanting to be there.
Show her that I have returned, if she'd please just stay
i'd let her warm my face forever, never turning away.
