There it lays,
my tear soaked
pillow case.
In clouds unseen
where they visit me
every night since thirteen
What am I to do
with no avenue to pursue
when they deny my inhibitions
and tell them they're forgiven?
I see what I can't change and
I can't change what I see
I want to want their vision
of tender, loving, harmony
but it feels like swallowing poison
treating my actions remorsefully.
I take each day
one at a time
unyielding to divulge
what comes to me as I lay
every night
on my tear soaked pillow case.

There it lays,
my tear soaked
pillow case.
In clouds unseen
where they visit me
every night since thirteen
What am I to do
with no avenue to pursue
when they deny my inhibitions
and tell them they're forgiven?
I see what I can't change and
I can't change what I see
I want to want their vision
of tender, loving, harmony
but it feels like swallowing poison
treating my actions remorsefully.
I take each day
one at a time
unyielding to divulge
what comes to me as I lay
every night
on my tear soaked pillow case.
