Drowning under the waves of your love
Time ripples through me
Crashing against my heart.
You will never know the sorrow that you sowed
In me all those years ago
Leaving me with only thorns to grow.
Wicked, jagged love
That is all I have
Leaving wakes...

The broken down truck
on the side of the road
reminds me of days gone by
cruising in your Chevy till the gas ran dry.
The tears finally stopped coming
about a year after you left
I had no more desire
to cry over your bad choices.

Cursing the sun and the moon
Your lack of reply

If I simply sunk into anonymity
Hiding my woes and misery

when I needed you most?

to support your truth.
I was raised a certain way

Don't leave me counting the days to your demise
Leave me with a smile
Leave me with a kiss
Leave me in the night
So I can remember you full of life

I was surprised in every way
to hear of your death.
The numbness in my soul
The feeling of unrest
They linger now
even as I see your casket.
I thought it would bring me closure
to see your ending.
But...

I The Eternal Love
I will love you forever
My heart sings with joy
The world will know our epic love story.
II The Spurned Love
You broke my heart
And now you have to pay
This grudge will never fade away.
III Forgiveness
In our defiant youth
