Perhaps You'Ll Set Me Free.
How long shall chaos reign in my own heart?
How long before my soul is torn apart?
you stand before me,
sick and weak of hands,
have I been harsh in making my demands?
Remember when we ran across the world...
with dreams wide open...
and bright hopes unfurled?
we laughed upon that hill right over there...
as you wove colored feathers in my hair.
That bond of love now tightens
'round my throat,
and chokes me as I read the words you wrote
For two have shared what only one can claim
and you must choose the water or the flame
The love of one runs cool and deathly deep,
and comforts you in silence as you sleep.
The other burns as brightly as a flame
the embers catch your breath,
they're not the same.
Too sad to care when you 've not cared for me,
the choice is yours..........
perhaps you'll set me free.
