HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN


Why did our dream become so mean?

I pay the harshest price -

Why couldn’t love be nice?

What did I do to be cased in ice?


Had it been over?

Before I knew?

Had it been over?

But I ignored the truth?

Had it been over?

Long ago?

Was I just hanging on?

Cause I had nowhere to go?


Heart heaves in my chest -

I ask how can you leave me so?

You’ve treated me,

As nothing more then your hoe!


Had it been over?

Before I knew?

Had it been over?

But I ignored the truth?

Had it been over?

Long ago?

Was I just hanging on?

Cause I had nowhere to go?


You, and me, is like acid inside.

I was so pure before you placed me in this sewer!

What did I do to become this maimed?

Game to be gunned and blamed.


Had it been over?

Before I knew?

Had it been over?

But I ignored the truth?

Had it been over?

Long ago?

Was I just hanging on?

Cause I had nowhere to go?

INSATIABLY


I’m drowned completely in you,

Forever will I be true,

Stay a closed flower.

Cause you are the only bee,

Who can collect pollen from me-

Whom I like insatiably.

IS THIS THE WAY HOME


Is this the way home?

Is this the way home?

Do I simply,

Follow the arrows,

Lying along,

This barren road,

To find this home?

I’m so very lost,

So very alone;

I’m scared,

And I question,

Even though this is the home,

I want to own without another mention.


I’m drowned completely in this dream of two,

I envision being so beautifully true -

Stay a closed flower,

Cause I want you to be the only bee,

To collect pollen from within the heart of me;


But then I question is this the way home?

Is this the way home?

Do I simply,

Follow the arrows,

Lying along,

This barren road,

To find this home?

I’m so very lost,

So very alone;

I’m scared,

And I question,

Even though this is the home,

I want to own without another mention.

JUST FINISHED CRYING


Just finished crying again;

I hope one day,

These tears will end.
