The Kiss That Never Was

I was kissed Long ago I wept long before I never let go You have become my dream You've broken into my heart So now I weep yet again You wont, mercy be, let me go I held your hand in a dream I caressed the blood of your heart To give you life I weep once more My lungs are filled with water I am drowning in desire I weep at this very moment My passion shall murder me Pastel tears, painted tomorrow Monet warned me of Parisian blues All that I can grasp in the palm of my hand Why am I denied the touch of love? In the haze of such thoughts I beg of you Let it rain day and night So that I may drown in your arms
