Away With the Sun
Its getting late
but you already came
and while you were here
things never change
you lay with me
and tell me your words
then you leave
and I feel hurt.
Its not you that hurts me
but the sound of the door
closing behind you
I know for sure
you'd like to stay
but you never do
I'm left alone
missing you.
These days its more frequent
you leave so much
that you're gone more hours
than the day brings sun
and I have begun
to feel so numb
when the door closes
another night I run
far away from the thoughts I have
because its killing me to look
at my empty hands
I remember when we were on the sand
you told me you loved me
but you weren't my man
and so I walked, feeling okay
but too many months
now I want you to stay
Am I selfish?
asking too much?
You only visit me an hour
after dusk
and I must go on
but should I stay?
when you see me sometimes
but its always too late.
