i must have been out of town when the lights went out
my head on a soft feather pillow
connecting my thoughts in a deep hollow slumber
unaware of the life sliding through my palms
long curling tendrils cascading to the floor
every hope and promise i had ever held
taken away in the blink of a dream
the warmth left my body
as your frigid words epupted within me
im left frozen, still, defenseless
staring into the blinding light, fixated
unable to grasp or speak
so aware of my loss that could not speak
you once told me of a love you felt
for this girl of your dreams
this red haired little girl
who wandered into your life and gave you everything
and how happy you were...
that you had found her in me
and together we'd remain
in a perpetual whirlwind, the epitome of purity
and then you decided to shut the lights off
i swear i must have been out of town...
my head lying on gently on a feather pillow
dreaming of you
and you again told me of a love you couldnt handle
a little red haired girl
who once gave you what you needed
but you just couldnt take it
you just werent ready for this love yet
you decided to get out before you got hurt
and how you had to push her away.
escape the pain, spare yourself
discard the girl like so many ashes
off of one of your crooked cigarettes
lying hopelessly,
slowing disintigrating in a dirty ashtray
better stubb it out before you catch the house on fire
he told me that he still loves her.
this little red haired girl.
its simply too much.....what if it isnt happiness that lies in the future?
and he cast me aside.
my red hair trailing in the wind
and i lay down to sleep on my soft feather pillow
moistened by the salty bitter tears that stream relentlessly down my face.
i fight the urge to sleep.
(i still love you)
