looking back at those times of doing what you're told
getting caught in a trap of what were taught to believe
questioning the universe of who you should an shouldn't trust
is this love true or is it just a game
As shadows grow longer an the sun lower in the western skies
I prepare Myself for another long night for when the darkness
wraps itself around me like a cloak I tremble with fear
not from death for I have have begged for that more than once
only to be told it's not my time
when night overcomes the day the perception of life is so frail
an hard to see
what was the truth an what was a lie
when loving someone means having to leave without saying goodbye
in My life I have been left broken an bleeding but I paid it no mind
for the body will always heal it's self given time
but there's an ache in my heart an a sadness in my soul
some nights I lose my mind as I dance with the ghost's of the past
there's been many women in my life sense that day I listened to
them an walked away but when I closed My eye's I still saw only her
and My reflection in those brown eyes
it is no fault of theirs that I'm alone
they couldn't help it if they could not be her anymore than I can help
being Me
sitting wrapped in the cloak of darkness scared of what fate has in store
for Me
what will the payment due for the things I've done be
knowing I'll die in the dark cold an alone some night
closing My eye's one last time only to see My reflection in those brown eyes
and never being able to say goodbye
