_____________!!text v[ersu]s. romance

i could make a list of my down points

i could tell you who i'd really like to be

i could sigh all day from bad memories

but you would never let me

i might wish upon a star one night

and wake up disappointed the next day

but you would not let me down

because you would wish my disappointment away

put a slash through the tears

and erase the scars of regret

stitch over the loneliness

or might you not be ready yet?

tell me what happens

when the words lose their meaning

i wouldn't know anything about it

i never lost the feeling

you pulled the sheets away from me

and i could see so clearly

my sheets rebuild themselves

i wish them death so dearly

if i allowed my love to show

it would allow the pain to grow

for fear of no feelings returned

frightened to get my heart beaten and burned

corked up the emotions and threw the bottle in the sea

but they always float ashore, always returning to me

white flags raise up surrendering the hate

bringing a peace amongst the feelings spoken too late

revived the flame but killed the wick

broken and battered, beaten by the loneliest stick

and the love collapsed into red debris

burned into ashes almost as blue as me

rocked by the cradle intended to set it free

playing the repetitive song set out of tune

and the rhythm won't be coming back any time soon...

©me.
