Your presence lingers in my blood
Every breath I take,
Implants your aura in me
You are here to stay within me
Even when you are gone
My wounds are sodden in blood,
Embalmed in pain,Naked
The pain torments my soul
Scattering my sanity
Time can never heal
All that you gave
It will remain in my realms
Your love,your presence
(Chorus)
Your presence lingers in my blood
Every breath I take,
Implants your aura in me
You are here to stay within me
Even when you are gone
I walked by your side
Kissing away every morsel of pain
Every tear that fell from your eye
Shattered my strength
I held you close to me
Never letting you fail
And you have every inch of me
Then and now
Your face chases my dreams
Enslaved in your love,I live
Even then I want to see you again
Sometime again
Your voice resonates in my ears
Tearing me into shreds
Even then I want to hear you again
All over again
It's impossible to let myself know
That you are not here anymore
I walk along the boulevard of broken dreams
Picking up the tattered pieces of our love
I walk along the forsaken land,Orphaned
(Chorus)
Your presence lingers in my blood
Every breath I take,
Implants your aura in me
You are here to stay within me
Even when you are gone

Wow, a song entry! I'm surprised. I didn't think I'd see that here.
I do like this song...it's just sad that I'll never be able to hear it. I'm sure I would love it, if I ever heard its' actual tune.
Well, you get some creativity points here
Great job. Thank you for entering.

I am Very Lyricaly Challenged....I couldn't write a song to save my life. But apparently you can. This is a beautiful and touching set of lyrics.
I walk along the boulevard of broken dreams
Picking up the tattered pieces of our love
I walk along the forsaken land,Orphaned
Wow Just Wow. I'm breathless. Bravo.
Thanks For Entering My Contest.

Wonderful :D
This Is Just Tha Kind Of Image I Wanted To See XD Very Good Write, I Can Feel Each Raw Emotion And It Fits Well With Tha Song. Tha Word "Presence" Might Have Been A Little Over Used But It Didn't Seem To Take Away From Tha Over All Feel. Great Job And Good Luck! I'll Be Reading Over It Again When Tha End Of Tha Contest Comes Closer. Thanks Again For Entering.
