I thought that it was over I thought that the worst had passed That the storm had subsided, that the rain had stopped The wind had calmed, everything was so still... But, God, was I wrong, so very wrong It turns out that I was just standing in the middle Standing in the eye of the hurricane The falsely calm, center of it all There was more terror was on it's way To toss me about, and drown me, slowly Drenching rains followed the calm I thought I had found Lightening flashed, and struck my painfully foolish heart The devastating winds blew all of my certainty away Carried far from this place, that I call home... Looking in the mirror, I can see the destruction Shockingly apparent, on my tired face My tears slip down my cheek, unchecked I hear them softly fall to the floor ...Tap...Tap...Tap...Tap...Tap...Tap... They never seem to stop for long They cease for a short while, then returning tenfold So, it's been a turbulent, frenzied time Where often reality has been tested, only to fail And fail miserably I'm sick with anguished, the sheer weight of it Has rendered useless, almost wholly helpless... The fibers of my heart have always mended before Always healed, with time But, this time...such a bitter ache, scalding my insides Such a plague on my soul, a rancid, slow progressing plague And the noise is quite deafening, the silence of your heart Once I heard it beating, fast Now, I hear it not, and I do think that I ever will again You are lost to me...So god damned lost I think that I shall never set eyes on your face Nor hear your voice For even if I had the courage, I do not have the strength To seek you out Nobody is that strong, or that foolish... And, I suppose, that if you want me If the notion to see me again, should ever strike If you ever desire to hear my voice, or see my face You know exactly where to find me |
