Your key no longer works on this lock
Yellow caution tape bars you from a future with me,
And beyond it, you watch me moving forward,
As I was destined to do from the start...
It seems you were nothing but a stepping stone,
Across the rapids that were my misery...
And your head falls, a'rolling in the undertoe...
But, just before you take that last breath,
And sink below oncoming waves of loneliness,
You see me moving forward...
All of the happy memories we created,
Everything I ever gave you,
To me, are just 'kisses in the wind'.
Lovely
Lipstick
Lasts
Only so Long...
Before sweet smelling breezes,
Sweep them from my cheek,
And I am no longer enchanted by you...
Faith can only feed a man for so long,
Before he realizes he is being starved to save the effort.
All the lies you ever beguiled me into believing,
Are just...
Tainted...
'Kisses in the wind'
