Such dry ink they had
Even that gave me joy, but why was the wait so long
Or did the postman lose his way
Mine were written in blood
So warm they burned the paper away
If only you read them
Written on my walls, if only the walls had any say
Sleepless nights waiting for that call
Promises that were never fulfilled
Truth all but in hiding
All those moments, being so close
Take them away, oh so fake
Forced your way inside my life
Held my hand like no one ever did
Cloud burst of love
A simpleton I was
Full of ecstasy
Led me into the desert
Blinded I was
Marooned with no guiding light
Maybe you were playing I spy
Oh so foolish I was
All that sand just slipping through my fingers
Was that a dream I’ve already forgotten
What is there to take away then
Nobody knows why I am the way I am
Is it you or is it me
Must be me
Trust scorched, all that remains is black
Climbing walls just to see your face
Why were you always so busy
Burns don’t hurt when they’re third degree
I would have fought endlessly
But there was no victory there was no foe
Why did I have bruises all over
God bless you were unharmed at least
Don’t take those bruises away
They’re memories precious to me
Don’t take away the painful ones
Cause those are important lessons I’ve learnt
Love is expensive, I had so much to spend
Lies were all you had, Tears and smiles
What need is there for happiness, In this world full of hate
Loneliness is liberating I know
Nothing is forever, even death does us apart
When darkness flows through your veins, what good is a heart
Take the light, but leave the dark
Let it consume me from inside out
Rare, too good to be true
Take those happy memories away
The smell of her scent, her rosy cheeks
Eyes so deep and secrets that it held
Oh I loved those shiny hair
Like Medusa, head full of snakes
Take the good ones away
They the ones that cause so much pain
Winter so freezing, Spring so warm
Let me have her last beautiful smile
Now there’s tears in my eyes
But when highs are forgotten, Lows don’t bother
Maybe it was all just a dream, morning will tell
Felt so good, how will I ever like forget
