My Lady Is Broken
I don't recall ever feeling this defeated
Heart, mind and soul depleted
Soaked by the tides of my desperation
Her love absent without explanation
The space between us no longer measured in distance
My heart fights back with endless persistence
This chill in the air survives a thousand fires
Suddenly a stranger to all her desires
If she would only show me the colour that began this decline
I would paint over it white, bright and divine
Silence that brings a deafening sound
My heart pumping fear with every pound
Love shows it's cruelty, refusing to hide
Every minute I stay I die more inside
All I can hear now are the words she can't say
Maybe this is a dream and i will wake one day
My lady is broken.
I don't recall ever feeling this defeated
Heart, mind and soul depleted
Soaked by the tides of my desperation
Her love absent without explanation
The space between us no longer measured in distance
My heart fights back with endless persistence
This chill in the air survives a thousand fires
Suddenly a stranger to all her desires
If she would only show me the colour that began this decline
I would paint over it white, bright and divine
Silence that brings a deafening sound
My heart pumping fear with every pound
Love shows it's cruelty, refusing to hide
Every minute I stay I die more inside
All I can hear now are the words she can't say
Maybe this is a dream and i will wake one day
My lady is broken.
Same Sky
In the dead of night when you are cold and alone
The sun shines through the windows of our home
When the distance between us compels me to cry
My only comfort is knowing we're under the same sky
Your absence grows louder, now a deafening sound
I took you for granted when I had you around
I would do anything just to walk down your street
Knock on your door and fall at your feet
If I had a boat I would sail the seas
Arrive at your port and fall to my knees
With the wings of a bird I could reach your side
Soar through the skies until it's time to glide
Misery reaches the heart when you're torn from your fate
My desperation grows with every second I wait
In the dead of night when you are cold and alone
The sun shines through the windows of our home
When the distance between us compels me to cry
My only comfort is knowing we're under the same sky
Your absence grows louder, now a deafening sound
I took you for granted when I had you around
I would do anything just to walk down your street
Knock on your door and fall at your feet
If I had a boat I would sail the seas
Arrive at your port and fall to my knees
With the wings of a bird I could reach your side
Soar through the skies until it's time to glide
Misery reaches the heart when you're torn from your fate
My desperation grows with every second I wait
One Perfect Day
Running for the bus as it's driving away
You stopped the driver, began my perfect day
Floored by a strangers face and inviting smile
I came undone in less than a mile
Our conversation flowed with beautiful ease
My army defeated and down on their knees
As we approach the station there is fear in my heart
The end of the road is here, the moment we part
We both step off the bus in perfect time
I attempt to disguise my unraveling mind
Every fibre of my being wants to ask you to stay
I save my courage for another day
As I walk away my heart threatens attack
You reach out for my arm and gently pull me back
Be mine for this day? forget these feelings are strange
Tomorrow we return to our lives and nothing will change
I think of that day as I am nearing my last
More than the days of the thirty years passed
How can one day remain locked inside?
Still longing for all the nights we denied
The end lingers close and softly whispers I die tomorrow
Nothing can take back the day you saved me from sorrow
Running for the bus as it's driving away
You stopped the driver, began my perfect day
Floored by a strangers face and inviting smile
I came undone in less than a mile
Our conversation flowed with beautiful ease
My army defeated and down on their knees
As we approach the station there is fear in my heart
The end of the road is here, the moment we part
We both step off the bus in perfect time
I attempt to disguise my unraveling mind
Every fibre of my being wants to ask you to stay
I save my courage for another day
As I walk away my heart threatens attack
You reach out for my arm and gently pull me back
Be mine for this day? forget these feelings are strange
Tomorrow we return to our lives and nothing will change
I think of that day as I am nearing my last
More than the days of the thirty years passed
How can one day remain locked inside?
Still longing for all the nights we denied
The end lingers close and softly whispers I die tomorrow
Nothing can take back the day you saved me from sorrow

Mad Love
I love you.
We are in perfect harmony.
Both of us.
Holding hands.
You gazing down at the promise ring.
Asking me to never take it off again.
I'm smiling at you saying that I won't.
But then. . .
"I hate you!"
I scream and shove you away.
Tears streaming down my face.
I don't know what happened.
Why this happened.
I love you so much.
And I don't want you or I to walk away.
I just want you to treat me like you did before.
Treat me like your girlfriend.
Not something you can love one minute.
And than yell at the next.
I rip off the ring and put it on the table.
"I'll put it back on when you treat me like your girlfriend!"
You use to talk to me.
Not at me.
You use to love being with me.
Now you're always threatening to leave.
You use to be understanding of my problems.
Now you just yell at me when I freak out.
What happened to us?
Why are you acting like this?
Don't bring up my problems.
My anger.
And the times I yell.
Since when do you use those things against me?
I thought we were in love?
I'm going mad. . .
I'm bleeding again.
From my arms.
By my own hand.
You pull my into you.
And say let's never fight again.
The ring has returned to my hand.
I cuddle our son while you hold me close.
I'm sorry I'm broken.
I wish you would just leave.
So you don't have deal with my madness.
And pretend that you really love me.
I am undeserving of your love.
I want to be with you.
And I want our son to have his parents together.
Because I know what it's like to have them apart.
I just wish we would stop the fighting.
Stop my insanity.
Stop hating each other randomly.
Stop hurting each other.
Stop the screaming.
Just stop this madness.
Because. . .
I love you.
I love you.
We are in perfect harmony.
Both of us.
Holding hands.
You gazing down at the promise ring.
Asking me to never take it off again.
I'm smiling at you saying that I won't.
But then. . .

Tears streaming down my face.

Why this happened.

And I don't want you or I to walk away.

Treat me like your girlfriend.
Not something you can love one minute.
