The Boxer

I'll give it all away just to have you j Just to know for one moment our love was true One thought away We've been done for days The memories fade From black to Grey Worn out from the games We reluctantly play Hearts sinking like a ship In a blink of an eye a poem without words a song without notes summer without heat Sea without boats what was it what may never be wrapped up into one like make believe helpless tired only wanting more empty heart ready for what lay in store A quick glimpse a stammer The run toward the door you can give up hope Without trust Love is no more Quit the fight Throw down the gloves thought you were losing Face down in the mud Up before 8 seems like it's fake the future forever the past a mistake
