The Unclean Get Away
You stole a piece of my heart
and I can't get it back
Now worry seems to cover me
with mind unrest attachs
You took away the peace I had
with me, myself and I
The love I had within myself
has found itself denied
My soul is constantly reaching
and grasping only air
My eyes are constantly seeking
the you that is'nt there
My being has lost its reason
and my sanity lost its way
I can't help but think about it
a few times everyday
The sway it has is sickening
and refuses to go away
The rose that I had that was you
has born to me its thorns
The space I held in my heart
barren and forlorn
My presence to your needs
forever scorned
My pain, the worst part of love
dutifully endured as it should be
without death
My dreams desolved in memory
becoming harder to remember
But i still doubt your emptiness
for we had so much
But it's a sin to love that way
and somehow never touch.
