Chips of guilt
Settle painfully
In my stomach
(original of course...
I needed the salt fix)
Settle painfully
In my stomach
(original of course...
I needed the salt fix)
just as I needed you
[or so I thought at that time]
for greater I thought no-one beneath this sun
they say that self-deception comes in sounds of betrayal;
and lips that give false testimony;
and leaves have their time to fall
[even cherry blossoms succumb to the storm]
and I fell, for you and sacharine words;
toxic lies that left a taste of bitter,
and darkened the clouds of a sky -
-you made me see it only in blue-
but passion's heat ran out
[before the first raindrops started to fall]
alas-you failed to throw me a rope,
before I started to drown again;
but this time I held my head above water,
and I learned to swim on my own;
I stand now, and I can walk away from you,
and I will bury regret and guilt, and I will stand;
for I have captured pride and confidence,
in me.
I will reclaim my summer,
when winter sorrow chills me to the bones;
[watch me reach for my own sun, and trust even the shadow of me.]
I'll remember the beauty of Dawn.
