The Gravity of Regret and Love

Entering the belly of the beast, feeling weightless, floating on precision Is it a dream or a taste of reality Opening the door to obtain the answers long awaited Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust saddling up for life’s journey What lies lurk beneath a hoping heart Digging a grave, I’ve made my mess give me the best wishes I know I was wrong to let her go With no persistence she slipped through my fingers It’s hard to accept my mistakes A need for love hit with a ten ton hammer Baby could you remember the better part of me I need to change my approach going air born Maximize my reach outward, no fear of being torn apart or retreat Terror, a fear of no longer being relevant in her eyes I know what I must do, Strutting on the astral plains Contacting the infatuation I used to know Gravity of past failures weighing down my world in tow I want to know the passion of sleeping with her tonight But there are numbered uncertainties Attraction limits, shunning who I can’t be Sorry I can’t just leave it alone Spilling all my inner thoughts on the floor Do you picture me as an annoying entity I want are lives to be one, colliding up to the great beyond There are many possibilities. I am yours if you would have me My nightmares drown thinking of you, having you on a pedestal Every man has a point where he must give the devotion of the feminine beauty he holds dear, regardless of the pressure of complicated matters close to the heart defining who he could be I understand who I’ve become, it’s unmistakable A love-sick romance sick of being on holiday While a woman has stolen focus Locked in a tunnel vision moving in perpetual motion Carving out lustful wounds wide open
