Good Intentions

by Beth - Scorpio

Moonlight falls across a picture of you
my breath catches, I come unglued
the way light falls, bouncing off your face
the hands of time unwind;I'm transported to another place
Like an old sepia movie the past begins to play
Tears flow so freely over pain I can't erase
The urge to scream becomes so strong but no sound can be heard
invisable daggers pierce my heart remembering your words
You pleaded and you begged, you cried your alligator tears
asking me to forgive you, forget all those years
but old habbits they die hard, you prove that time after time
everytime I let you back in, every time I cry
And for all your vows, you couldn't hold to your absentions
And so the road straight to hell 
is paved with good intentions..
