Catastrophe Cuts Deep

Cold blood drips on the bathroom floor
You were the one that I adore to the core
You were a shimmering shore at the beach
Your pleasant, outlandish words I beseech

You've taken advantage of me
You want, but don't have
You need me still unfortunately
I just sit back and laugh

Defenseless in your grip...producing soars
Let me take a sip of sorrow one last time
I like to wrap my tongue around yours 
Maybe you'll take a bite into my grime

Shame on you for loving me so
The wicked wind blows to and fro
You can make it up to me anytime 
But, know that our love is a crime

Just walk away...oh, just walk away...
Let your cold fingers touch what's left of me
Dead hour has arrived this dismal day
I long to be free for a while, so leave me be

I have a nerve to love you back
Thankfully, you got me on track
I'd like to thank you for all you've done
I'm sorry for acting like a son of a gun
Our peace battles are won

I try to smile away my fears
I grimace with temporary cheers
You thrilled me in many ways
My High spirit is led astray

Catastrophe...cuts...deep...
Alone, I ponder and weep...
Waiting for you to come and save me
I'm a creep to be honest, baby
I am a lost sheep,
Willing to be found
I don't make a peep
I'm a worthless sound

I'm sorry for disappointing you so
I guess I will let this grief grow
Don't let me go and I want you to know
I love you, but reap what you sow

OMG--relationships. Sounds like a rough ride. As I have said before the chemistry wasn't right. Some men need to have many lovers and can never settle on one. You don't strike me as one of those. I think you have a golden soul.
