My Heart Is 104 Degrees

There are five missed phone calls from you. One voice message. You've even tried to mail me a letter. Desperation suits you, makes you kinder. You keep trying to inch your way back in, thinking you'll find a little shade here, somewhere cool to rest your head. But you have picked so much at my roots, the earth is now dry and barren. And even if I cried a thousand tears, baby, these are still drought-like conditions. Nothing can grow here anymore.

This slams a false lover , eh? I like it.. --------------------------------------------- Ink on paper his sins and stains when it pours , it surely rains Break his cloud for all to see deny his every false little plea... --------------------------------------------- Great write, ink more...

Jan, thank you for reading and for responding. Yes, it's sometimes hard to shake but I'm far better off now :)
