when it's over........ where will you run ?

I woke up in the middle of the night
with a momentary smile
I swear I just felt the brush of her lips
the taste of her kiss
left with a ghost like pattern of her fingertips
as they caressed my skin
just for an instant there I felt alive again
then It was gone
an the reality sets in that I'm still
alone

when there's no one else around
and you can't turn to anybody 
cause you don't want to be seen as weak
you spend the nights drinking rot gut whiskey
chain smoking two packs of cigarettes 
starring at the shadows on the walls 
hoping they don't come alive
but then again a fight would break the 
monotonous of being alone

she said she had to go
couldn't take the fighting with me 
am the demons that plague my mind
i suspect she had a few of her own
I cant blame her hell I'd leave to 
if I could find a way to lose My mind
the question is when everything you know 
is said and done

when it's over........
where will you run
who will still be by your side
is anyone still going to love you
what are you going to do when all this pride 
you hold inside Is gone

I woke up in the middle of the night
with a momentary smile
I swear I just felt .............................
