Torn Apart

Days and days have passed no new introspection Nothing to search for, the clock moves so slow Looking into my eyes reveals an empty reflection At times anger coursed through me like an infection Guilt turned to blame and like a cancer it did grow Days and days have passed no new instropection The reasons why not found, I search every direction Such powerful emotion and feeling, I had to let go Looking into my eyes reveals an empty reflection Hearing words like these you raised your objection Over the time I know my patience has been low Days and days have passed now new introspection Facing the fading will of time there is no protection Patience from above required, sadly I live here below Looking into my eyes reveals an empty reflection A new foundation in the midst, awaiting ******** Imprisoned by uncertainty, emotion cannot flow Days and days have passed no new introspection Looking into my eyes reveals an empty reflection Written By Wayland Bunch II on 1/6/2014 Inspired by Love will tear us apart by Joy Division Lyrics below from lyricsmode.com Love Will Tear us Apart-Joy Division When routine bites hard, And ambitions are low. And resentment rides high, But emotions won't grow. And we're changing our ways, Taking different roads. Then love, Love will tear us apart again... Love, Love will tear us apart again... And love, Love will tear us apart again... Love, Love will tear us apart again... Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side. Is my timing that flawed? Our respect runs so dry. Yet there's still this appeal, That we've kept through our lives. Then love, Love will tear us apart again... Love, Love will tear us apart again... And love, Love will tear us apart again... Love, Love will tear us apart again... You cry out in your sleep, All my feelings exposed And there's a taste in my mouth, As desperation takes hold. Is it something so good, Just can't function no more. Then love, Love will tear us apart again... Love, Love will tear us apart again... And love, Love will tear us apart again... Love, Love will tear us apart again...
