Just Like Me

Hiding myself under the bridges of my mind where everything gathered like the scars left behind All innocence was shattered in me convinced every promise be a lie Never again would I trust with my life So you came in the darkness of the night planting flowers hid from sight April came, and there they grew everyday appeared something new On every stone, a note.... "My love, I'm just like you" Some things you can't undo - and there's other things you never knew But when I said never I meant it forever too battered too broken and bruised In the end I always seem the one that ends up used So you built me a home and a garden fair The horses graze in the pasture there you asked for nothing in return Some things you said... take time to learn I am here, you are there I know you think I just don't care But when I said never I meant it forever My heart can't take anymore. Your gypsy soul is changing form Your give is gone, nothing more. There's a love much deeper than you've ever seen A love that see's what you truly need "You see, I'm just like you" You write, you draw, you dance your heart I build, I plant, I work my part But it's the child that hides underneath Just waiting to trust what they see Out of time to live for just a dream "My love, your just like me Someday, I swear it, you'll marry me". Not for what we give or get but for the kind of happiness that makes us forget Tonight the child in you, will cry herself to sleep. And you alone in the dark, still refusing defeat. Some demons are soothed but they never sleep.
