Thats Not Me, Not My Love

i pass the days unsatisfied
thinking of you and i
questioning my path and pride
can we keep our love alive

its not easy 
i will have to lay to rest
alone when i chose to sleep
on my own is best

my heart did say you know this well
i fell into a dizzy spell
perhaps its fast but whose to tell
it pained me when I had to yell

i dont want to be that  to you
thats not me, not my love
so we had to say goodbye
i wish we shared a closer view

you ever need anything please ask
for no ones sake, its what i feel
i hope we both will grow and heal
to sip spirits pure from leaden flask

the faintly playing of sade
eager for the autumn rain
sullen in a hardened way
ill meet you in a stronger wane

lend me a kiss of rosy cheek
this love was surely tried
 assured of me, feeling speaks
parting ways is wise
