Like a rag doll in the rain
Your love, hence, purpose is gone
Now your forced to endure the pain
As you realize you were just a pawn

In your story this was the great love
In his you were just a bit part
As insignificant as an old glove
He tears out your still beating heart

It was the summer,
of 89'.
The weather was beautiful,
so fine.

The wind whispered through my window,
softly.
Kissing my face,
as it blew by.

I rolled over,
and said, "good morning".
But you weren't there,
to my surprise.

Where did I go wrong?
Can we start again?
I never meant any harm.
Is this really the end?

I searched here,
I searched there.
I searched far,
and I searched wide.

And when I finally,
found you.
There was another man,
by your side.

Where did I go wrong?
Can we start again?
I never meant any harm.
Is this really the end?

Can you give me one more chance?
I'll give you all that I am.
I'll do all I can do,
to show I still love you.

There's no light,
inside this broken heart.
Just a love,
that can never restart.

There's a place,
inside my heart that's hollow.
And it's waiting,
for you to come home.

And I know that you're out there,
somewhere.

Sleepless nights,
in an empty bed.
Thousands of,
thoughts flow through my head.

No escape,
from the pain I feel everyday.
Ever since,
you chose to walk away.

And I know that you're out there,
somewhere.

I'll wait for you forever,
my hearts wide open,
we belong together.

Just don't keep me waiting for long,
I don't even know,
what I did wrong.

Please come home,
come home.

There's no light,
inside this lonely heart.

And I know that you're out there,
somewhere.
And I know that you're out there,
somewhere.
And I know that you're out there...

If I keep waiting up,
will you show up,
and give me your love,
mend my broken heart.
I've been waiting out the days,
for you to come home.

It's been years now,
since I last saw,
your gorgeous face,
still hasn't been erased,
from the back of my weary mind,
just come home.

Hour by hour,
day by day,
I sit around,
and I wait.
Please remember me,
if we ever meet again.
I know when it comes to you,
I could never forget,
your beauty.

You just slipped away,
slipped out of my grasp,
into the big red sun,
and it's setting fast.

I still sit outside,
on my front porch,
every single day,
awaiting your return,
back into my heart,
come home.

Hour by hour,
day by day,
I sit around,
and I wait.
Please remember me,
if we ever meet again.
I know when it comes to you,
I could never forget,
your beauty.

No, I could never forget,
your beauty.

Traces of you line every moment silver,
     even in my darkest day
Traces of you can make the empty linger,
     the second you walk away

Traces of you are my hidden treasure,
     a joy that is all my own
Traces of you are too fine to measure,
     yet brighten my darkness alone

Traces of you make life worth living,
     the birth of my very smile
Traces of you make ease of forgiving,  
     though memories tend to beguile

Traces of you turn hell into glory,  
     then turn back the other way
Traces of you rewrite the story,
     every second of every day

Walking along the train tracks,
leaves rustle beneath my feet.
There's no looking back,
I'm moving on.

Earth is a pretty big place,
for two people to meet.
Feels as big as space,
yet somehow, we met.

And somehow, we stayed together,
somehow, we stayed strong.
You promised me forever,
I held on to every word.

But forever didn't last,
didn't last long at all.
Now you're the past,
and I'm moving on.

I may not be strong,
but I'm moving on.

Tonight, I was made aware of my lonliness,
Or my lonliness was made aware of me,
Either/Or, I'll walk like confidence cause it's all I've got everything to lose,
No one needs to know how this feels,

These words will haunt you...
Your lust will haunt you...
My absence will haunt you...

Like a ghost inside of your head,
Your vanity showed through,
You packed up and started new,
And I'm still here, teary-eyed, and wondering why,
So don't blame me because I'm ******* bitter,
And I'm demanding some answers.

Don't try to fulfill my memory,
Because you are just a memory,
Don't express your love for me,
Because it's something you'll regret,
Don't let yourself feel special,
Because you're just something I'll forget...

Smile.
I miss always being behind one,
But I'm too tempermental by the things you say to me,
There's always another happiness to **** time,
And I'm convinced you can't bite your tongue,
But you just as easily bit mine.

Lay down, think of silly things, and feel seventeen,
Stop moving and don't breathe, it's so serene,
For all we know we were built to last,
But I'm the only one to acknowledge that,
I wouldn't hurt so often if I didn't mean it,
But those words are as tender as the scars on your wrists.

Unpredictable.
You ask, "Will my car drive today?"
My reply, "I don't know. Will my heart die today?"

This broken heart,
is falling apart,
and you have no clue.
The strength that you have,
what you can do.

You have the power,
to cause me pain.
Left me broken,
never the same.

You nail me to,
your wooden cross.
Throw stones at me.
You spit in my eyes,
till I can't see.

You took what was ours,
and threw it away.
Took our love,
and put it to shame.

There was a shower,
of rain today.
It gave me the power,
to throw you away.
Throw our memories away,
throw the pain away.

Do you remember when,
everything was new?
You, me, everything,
what wrong could we do?

The golden sun used to shine,
even on the darkest days.
Now that golden sun has set,
far, far away.

And the rivers of love are dried up,
into thin air.
Leaving my heart thirsty, dying,
searching for water to spare.

And the wilderness has burnt,
went up in flames.
As you continued to **** me dry,
played me like a game.

My world is burnt up, dried up, dead,
since you left me,
since you played with my head.

I have a feeling we’ve done this more than once
Probably a few times because the energy we exchanged as we shook hands jolted me
I took a step back and looked into your eyes for just a moment
Immediately submerged
My soul is taken back to a much older time
Within a second, my heart, my soul, remembered past loves from centuries behind
And they were you
More than once
Trying to get something right each time

I have felt you
Felt this jolt of immediate passion
Drawn to you
Willing to submit

My soul remembers
Remembers your tenderness, mixed with bitterness
Love and anger tangled into a tight knot

My body remembers
Flesh, heat, embrace
It was glorious
A passion to be reckoned with

My mind, it tries so hard to remember
It scrapes at the remnants of what our bodies and souls created
Layers of a history I don’t deny is there
If only
If only I could chip away at that first layer and find out what went wrong so many times
Just to know
To have a chance to make it right in this lifetime

It’s a feeble attempt
But an attempt it was
We shook hands
Shared kisses
Embraced under stars
Traveled distances
Ending up farther away than our last encounter

We continue to breathe and live in the same lifetime
My soul content that it connected with the past
My mind left wondering how many more attempts we will be allowed
My heart happy with remembering, even if for a moment, what passionate love feels like

there is no breath when
you join my world, only
snug bundles of air ******
in
   between smiles

one of these days, I'm
living here
             listen (for me) like
people once read and
found reasons to grow
another few inches

(and to know) you
are the (fire's silver)
heartbeat!

/

nobody is masterful
to the undoubtable "I
have a word for this", no
suggestion 
          someone should try

/

there is no breath, (no
pause) when you join my
world
              only a warped sense
of direction, a shift in gravity
joining, warming faces

do you feel me?
filled with verses, lost in words?

/

will we go together?

dream how the
days flame when you
join my world (and
    when you
            remember it)
