RESIDUE

In and out
Of consciousness
Your running
Through my mind.

In and out
Of restless living
You're off again,
I'm left behind.

In and out
Of excuses.
You've wrapped your
Tongue in knots.

In and out
Of understandings.
We've reached the end
Have we not?

In and out
Of loving you,
Fighting for a cause,
That's lost and gone.

In and out
Of dusty relics
That use to shine
A time, once upon.

Please Don't Go

I don't want to go,. Not tonight,. I want to stay in your arms,. Please just hold me tight,. Please don't go,. I need you to stay,. I can't stand to see you go,. Or walk away,. Please stay tonight,.

Can't See Through You

I can't see through you. I wish I could. I gave my heart to you. But I don't think you understood. I can't see through you. You said it's true. So I gave my heart to you. But now my eyes are blue.

Give me the strength to walk away. Give me the strength not to stay. Let me distance myself from your touch. Let me distance myself before its too much. Help me move on from you.

Another sigh, It's now goodbye, I wonder why, You even try. You say farewell, And then you dwell. You try and leave, Heart on your sleeve.

Loving You Is Too Hard.

I'm trying. I'm dying. I'm crying. You're keeping. I'm weeping. Hearts leaping. We're in sync. We can't blink. We can't think. We're caught here. Just you, Dear. The pain, sheer.

DOWNPOUR

Downpour 1 o'clock at night can't fall asleep My vision blind out of pain Striking through my spine... Try to close my eyes but my head keep spinning around Over the same thing, On and on again...

Wrong

You're here. You care. Or so you say. Somehow I know. It shouldn't be this way. Thought you were perfect. Maybe you're not. Thought we'd last. Loved you a lot. Or so I said. So I believed.
