"but I need you...." you whisper,
It's too late, our time is spent: our love song is dead
The rain falls hard on your head
"all I wanted was to hold your hand" you think,
We could have shared this dance, even if that meant one final glance
You were my muse, I hope you know you made my heart bruise
I'm running now, these ghosts are too fast - they all reflect our past
I wanted you
I needed you
"I'll never stop haunting you" I hear the ghosts say
my knees fail me and I stumble
the roaring of thunder grows louder
WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL, I shout to the wind
what a mess
darling, you've made a mess of me
Suddenly, you're behind me, reminding me
feeding me with music and love
"You stabbed me first", you say
I step forward, taking your hand -
"Go ahead, let's do this again', I end as I put my heart on line one final time
"Disarm" by The Civil Wars inspired this little piece of writing....
