Transparent
The price I'd pay to show you things
was more than I could afford.
It would have taken too long and I'm
afraid you would've got bored.
If you could see inside of me and
my thoughts were transparent.
I wouldn't have to write you this;
my thoughts would be apparent.
But since I left you hanging there,
swinging from my noose.
I thought the least that I could do,
was come back and cut you loose.
Imagine my surprise when I got back,
and you were nowhere to be found.
I followed your footsteps down the path
along these hallowed grounds.
I slink along with head hung low,
my footsteps fall in line.
Your scent is faint but I knew it well,
I'm scouring for any sign.
At last I've come to where you are,
You're standing arm in arm.
Your face is not what I had thought,
I look on with alarm.
I expected this woman all full of dread,
with somber ****** expression.
Instead, I see your face is full of joy -
my own, it shows depression.
The coward in me was happy to see
your face that shone so bright.
The reality was this you see
You were my guiding light.
Or should I say, you were that way...
I guess it's now untrue.
I know he gives you what I can't
and that will make me blue.
My days are dark and nothingness.
My absence couldn't cure.
You're still swimming in my veins
and man that **** is pure.
I tried to quit you, because I was
afraid of letting go.
Now I'm afraid I have no choice
and I wish it wasn't so.
I'll let you go, this time for good,
if you can answer this.
With your lips, when they touch his
Do you wish it was my kiss?
