Ever have that feeling
late in the night;
When your woman’s away &
you wanna hold her tight?
Multiply by weeks &
add some more –
Strip yourself of friends
and close the door.
Cry in a corner &
turn your back to everything –
No matter how you try
it’s always the same damn feeling.
That feeling I hate,
resent & despise;
The one if I’m not careful,
it’ll tear up my insides.
It roams my soul
mixing my feelings;
I can’t hide it –
but I know it’s reeling.
The moment
I think I understand,
It grabs a hold &
pulls me to shreds.
No matter how hard I try
that longing feeling stays deep inside.
She won’t come back – I’m not
worth her while, simply wasted time.
No matter how I try to please her –
I’m never on her mind.
I dream about her love
& it’s taking me away tonite.
It hurts to touch it
again – like it’ll never heal.
The bandages pull off the scabs;
and blood flows forth.
Maybe another woman & another day –
but, for now that feeling is here to stay!
One day I’ll be whole again &
When will I never open again?
When that day comes, I won’t know if
I should run & hide or turn to face the
fray of battle.
I can only pray that it’ll last forever,
the love of another woman!
