Faced the Face
I had thought I faced the face, that’d give me peace.
It’s that time of night, to breathe deep.
A shallow descent of my heart BLEEDS for you.
A distant memory of my heart still BEATS for you.
I’d thought to tear down the walls and paint them white.
Never a glass house, in my mind.
I didn’t believe in true love, alone on a one way street.
I still don’t believe, because now I’ve felt defeat.
My life was not over, I wasn’t ready to leave.
My body begged my soul to come back to me.
Now I pace that time of night.
Hoping that maybe, you’d make me feel just fine.
I look into the eyes of the woman I love.
A glance, A hope, unshared.
Unworthy of your full embrace.
I now faced the face, that’d make me obsolete.
I can see the future, between me and you.
Now, how about what should i do?
I stick around and play into your trap.
Or look for the pieces of my heart, glue the scraps.
Because I’m on that one way road, once again.
Facing your face, so distant.
I guess this is another, goodbye.
I really truly thought I’d give it a try.
Honesty loses, love won’t prevail.
There’s too much sin, and my heart is frail.
So goodnight moon, may I heal once more?
Or,,,,?
