Close The Curtains

by Iniquity of the Mind - Not entered

I stare now into the sky of ruby red
knowing that you are somewhere underneath it
yet not close enough for me
but this is nothing new unto my eyes
nor in my heart
for without you I felt I could not live on
and yet for a moment I thought I could
I felt I could win back my life from your beauty
your radiance
your charm
all which kept me captive this long...

The sky is growing a pale gray
is this a sign of things to come
or possibly even a sign of that which is?
You’ve taken my heart
you’ve held captive my mind
yet nothing seemed to make you care
the love I gave
the gifts I brought
nor the words I wrote
and now I ask if it was worth all this pain?

Times are changing
and so am I
we drifted apart long ago
much to long ago for me to remember now
so all that’s left is a gentle goodbye dear
you were my angel of mercy
the lone desire in my heart
but tomorrow is a new day for you and me
for then you shall be but a fading memory
I felt we were meant to be once before
but now I wonder where that thought went wrong...

Hold tight you dreams dear
for one day they just might come true
I pray that you find love where you search tonight
a love that you could have found in me
reach for the stars my love
for heaven is the place for angels like you
these are the words that I shall last speak
for parting is such sweet sorrow
and the pain is more unbearable than words
you shall live on in my heart
but as the one that could have been
not as the one that shall always be...
