Vice Like Grip
It wasn't easy to see you
As the enemy.
A lot of love replays
In my memory.
I live in the valley of
The Damned.
You ran off with a
One-legged man.
What happened?
Not easy to explain.
I border on the land
Of the insane.
A comfort zone of
Disagreeing.
I didn't see it until
You were fleeing.
Outside things are alive,
Inside I'm dying.
How ed-up,
I stopped trying.
Love destroys the
Mind and soul.
I will never again,
Get to feel whole.
Memories etched
In time.
Forever seared across
My mind.
You were my something
To believe in.
You were the Yang to
My Yin.
I felt every second
Since you're gone.
My music a depressing
Sad country song.
I can't even walk because
Of my hip.
As I rock back and forth,
In a vice-like grip.
