Love. the Real Thing. For Once and For All.
I
Lay
Here at the bottom of my shower stall
Unable to stand
Because the weight of the situation
hit me so hard in the gut
and I wince from the pain
That radiates from
My heart
And
Shallow breathing
Is
All
I can feel
To know
That I am still alive
Bowing
My head down to the sorrow
A makeshift prayer for the unbeliver
to an imaginary god
Begging for compassion
Such a cruel sense of humor
the universe
has
to
tear me apart in love
then
to sew me back up again
false sense of security
to say that my new life would begin
Will something bring me comfort
And
relief
and just let us be
Tony, my angel......... you saved me
And
And images of you
Race through my mind
My eyelids as I gaze
At my heavenly white ceiling
Pleading for just one more shot
To
Love
You
Till the end
I won’t lie, steal or cheat
I’ll save the world, I will do it all
If something out there
Heeds my call
Groping the slippery walls
Just to stand tall
Nothing has ever
Been done
By watching it fall
Here is where I’ll stay
Living breathing
Just to love you everyday.
