Kiss Me Again...

I died inside when he told me he needed space away from me to be with her

That he had made me a place within another to run

But it burns like reaching for the sun

One can only belong to that which chooses to own

Otherwise

You’re still just alone.

I reach inside for the light

Or even just the pure darkness of night

Only to find an empty space

A lost girl without place.

As I wander through these empty rooms, look up at my son in passing

And we take a moment to reminisce, about heartache and bliss

That first and latest heartbreak

Rest my head on that shoulder so young

With all those songs still left unsung

“Baby, you’re going to be okay. Tomorrow is a new day.”

Then I wander slowly on, because this shoulder so young,

Shaking and brave, is no place for me to drop my earthquakes.

Kiss me again

With her lies upon your lips

Touch me some more

With her vile heart on your fingertips

And I watch you fall further away from me

Deeper into her poisoned sea

Once upon a time I was yours and you were mine.

You said you needed space

To be in her and your place

That you had made me somewhere to run

A place to hide

Deep inside the soul of another

But baby it burns like the sun

This isn’t any fun

This consuming desire to curl up in the lap of another

To hide in a space where he never granted me a place.

Every night I see his face

And all these songs left unsung

They ache, so quiet in their heartbreak.

There is no escape in the darkness of night

She’s there by your side every time

And so I use him, to push her out of my mind

Knowing that they cannot both exist within the same space and time

But baby, he isn’t mine

And we both know it’s a crime

And I must stay on the other side of the line

Find some way to redefine

Love and life, dreams and peace

These dreams, they will not leave me be

As all these demons, they chew on me

Knowing that I’ll never be his

As I watch you float away in her endless sea

I look at all these pieces of me

No longer trying to glue them back together

Just gathering them in my hands until I can hold no more

Watching them fall quietly to the floor.
