Coffee and Songs At 5 Am

It must have been the sunrise All the wrongs that I don’t see The truths hidden within your lies All the songs that I don’t sing It must’ve been nirvana For I cannot heal And I can’t be your wonders For I do not live And heaven can’t have her For angels do not kill And Satan can love her But he cannot feel It must’ve been the silence The doubt within your unseen words If I could’ve just finished what i had to say Everything you said I would’ve heard After all of the shouting The commotion in your screams After all your anger Did you accomplish everything you knew And heaven can’t have her For angels do not kill And Satan can love her But he cannot feel And it must’ve been the sunrise How solemn you sat And It could’ve been the song All alone you sang I’m not promised tomorrow but I am with you A chandelier in her borrowed clothes These are the songs a man sings to himself Before the mirror breaks "songs left within her despair"

Very touching, Jerry. How sad that it an outburst of anger can do so much damage to a relationship. Love the notion of "songs left within her despair." Beautifully written!
