I can’t think. My breath leaves.
I can’t see. My heart grieves.
Light goes dark, head is pounding.
Ringing, screaming, echoes sounding.
I picture you slipping from my sight.
Brightest day becomes like night.
My past mistakes just may be
The thing which takes you from me.
Fear is creeping in my heart
That we won’t finish what’s yet to start.
This one blemish, one dark cloud
Has got me screaming oh so loud.
Crimson tears stream down my face,
For one whom my heart won’t replace.
Yet I know the fault is mine
Rolling with embittered swine.
This one thing could be our
Downfall if we give it power.
I never wished to make you choose.
I fear this game I may loose.
I have to let things lie where the will.
My heart both trapped and unfilled.
I will not linger should you tell me go,
I’ll just cry for the love I’ll never know.
Or maybe one I wouldn’t let you show…
