Haunted (A Collaboration W/Jimmy M. Anderson)
Every corner I turn, I see your sweet face
The memory, like a ghost, haunts me still
I recall how you loved me you gave me your all
I can not believe that I pursue you, just let you go!
Now my heart, so heavy, my days dreary and dark
It is I whose pride I must cast aside
I must search in earnest, and lay every doubt aside
And pray that day; comes, when I touch your sweet face
When my days become brighter no longer to exist in the dark
I promise, on my honor to give you my all
Until you return to me, there is no place I want to go
So right here in this time I wait for you still
Your joy, your pain, every heart beat, share it all
We’ll blend as one, laying insecurities aside
Wherever you go, my heart and I also will go
No longer haunted by the memory of your sweet face
For now I know above all else, I love you still
In the light of your eyes I bloom but slowly, die in the dark
When the storms of life bring clouds so dark
When loneliness engulfs me, clearly I see it all
In the quiet of night when all is still
I lay alone in our bed, I cast my mask aside
On your pillow I swear there’s the imprint of your sweet face
Tears flow, my pain grows, no respite, and no where to go
Every thought of you lingers for hours and won’t let me go
I find no comfort in solitude as I sit in the dark
I pretend you lie here in this bed; I can almost feel your face
Ingratitude was what I offered when you gave to me your all
Your quiet devotion, taken for granted and cast aside
For wanton, shallow affection, I am nothing! I need you still
If you could see me now and I could see you still
If you would come to me now, today, or I to you, go
I’d pledge my life; my true devotion put my wanderings aside
Emptiness would not embrace me as I sit here alone in the dark
My heart I’ll give only you forsaking others, all!
And bask in sunlight forever if I could see your sweet face
In my eyes you’re still the light that shines in my dark
I would go anywhere, for you, I’d give you my all
Let foolish pride fall aside that I may behold your sweet face
