Tell me, Are you there?





I can feel you

know that your there

lurking in shadows of blue

you reside in my mind

passions anger miss' you



Oh you won't speak

your scorn has bitten your tongue

burned your memory into my bleak

life that has come undone



Was it that you couldn't accept being loved?

or past bitterness that made your venom spew

or just the touch that you felt to much

love that made you turn laughter to blue



Go ahead sing your song

to those that will listen

they meaninglessly play along

tell you what you wanna hear without fear

even when they know it's wrong



For I'll run and you can hide

til sometime you'll have to face

until then I'll die slowly inside

still seems such a waste



Yet if not what you want

these words from a dieing scribe

then say the truth, email undaunted

tell me... that love is alive
