Wrong Time

I want to touch the skin of your new lover,
I want to know her, know what she sees.
I was forced to let you go, let you leave my mind,
And now I’m choking on jealousy.
I didn’t want to love you like I love you-
I felt the hurt creep when we first touched.
The start hurt more then when I saw you leaving
Because i knew that day would come.
This short life time, needs a lifeline before you go-
It must have been the wrong time.
Beneath the cracked and coloured stained glass windows,
I see you take her hand.
I watch the way you watch her like an angel-
You never saw me that way again.
I didn’t want to love you like I love you,
I felt the hurt creep when we first touched.
The start hurt more then when I saw you leaving
Because i knew that day would come.
This short life time, needs a lifeline before you go.
It must have been the wrong time.

Blue

Here in my hand is a brush that you gave me.
Eager to move it leads me hastily.
Pining to paint all the pure pain away-
Like the rapture in blue for a brand new day.
Closed are my eyes as I remember you.
And on this blank page you’re built in all that blue.
Cold like the ocean- the colour calms my cries,
And though my words wain, the paint tells no lies.
And I have now stained the white flag I wave,
Forward I charge, taking back all that I gave.
Hoping that helpless you hear me happy for our life you left for her. Blue is my banner I wave passing your door.

Again
03:45
|

I felt the end approaching like a storm
The churning sky was laying ground to mourn.
Do you remember when we first drew close?
I
felt the fear right then, that I was lost.
The broken words
You whispered to me refrain;
Again,
I followed you again.
Buried my desire to follow you again.
My love.
Please martyr this for us.
For I am weak, for I am running from the end.
I knew the angels had a plan for us,
But I was tied to
I found a way to keep you in my mind.
A sleeping pill and you to float my high.
My friend.
If you see truth my friend,
You’ll leave me here and let me start again.
Again,
I want to start again,
Please let me go, I need to start again.

Amen

There was a voice,
It sung to me
To feel the weight
Of broken dreams.
To Hold it tight
So to set it free-
That foreign voice,
It sung to me.
Oh lord I tried
To be good and true,
But all it went wrong-
Lord I failed you.
But failing’s what we’re meant to do,
So ashes part
With blooms so new.
AMEN
I walked across
A holy sand-
The place I thought
Was my own land.
But it belongs
Not just to me,
it’s dark but light-
It’s trapped but free.
And lord I lost
So many friends,
By my own greed-
My own revenge.
For all I wanted
Never mattered-
For in the end
My own heart shattered.
AMEN

Forget me.
Forget the way we used to thrill.
Find another.
I know you will.
Forgive me.
Forgive the sparks that were let out.
It was only you who had this doubt.
I saw the end of my life inside your eyes-
But now you're gone-
No longer mine.
So I seek revenge in someone else's bed,
Because you stole all of the love that I had left.
And I saw love....before you let it end.
Find me.
That is all I really wanted.
I know you won't.
I know you can't.
And he touched me.
Just like you never could-
But I want your bad-
And not his good.
I saw the end of my life inside your eyes-
But now you're gone-
No longer mine.
So I seek revenge in someone else's bed,
Because you stole all of the love that I had left.
And I saw love....before you let it end.
So fall far from me.
