Quimara

the haloed moon hung in the sky the woman cried and wondered why her love had gone, gone far away would he return, or her love betray he'd speak to her of her lips so full her sea green eyes, now shot with red and now her heart was filled with dread she dreamed of him, midst restless sleep she'd given him her heart to keep she'd never thought he the careless sort to callously toss aside her love but now he's gone, so far away word once sent so often now gone astray and her lone companion the ghostly moon haloed in the cloudy sky and she asks why, my love, oh why The sky is clear the morn has come the night is passed, her love

Love is not like a fairy tale a heroic rescue and happily ever after love is like the shattered mirror in pieces upon the floor how a person can change you you're never the same as before love is like a summer day with storm clouds sweeping in could you truly appreciate bright sun if the rain never even began love is like a sweet note played followed by discord how much sweeter does it ring out now you've heard the other tone Love is not like a vacation ease and rest and relaxation it's like the rest of your life you work at love to keep it living you give your love to keep on getting the love you give is the love you get

I want to take you to the city and put your name in lights after spending the day seeing all the touristy sights I'll take you to a restaurant We'll have the finest meal music will be playing you'd pick lobster over veal I'd smile across the table watching you decide on cake instead of creme brulee and of course instead of pie there'd be women all around us beauty of all sorts and still my eyes stay on you for no other can compare none has your intense gaze your lovely sea blue eyes no lips can match your lusciousness to me you rise above We'd leave the restaurant I'd see it in your eyes disappointment for you thought it

there goes a heart I'm breaking tears that are shed when I'm not around but I'm not unaware, I can hear the sound am I some sort of monster, uncaring do I ignore the sound of her heart tearing though I sometimes feel I should be clad in fur, claws and fangs, monstrous things I am human, just a mortal man as she cries, heart aching, breaking I'd take that pain if I could, spare her but I can't, that's not how it works feelings change, people grow sometimes together sometimes not I was young when we met then I changed and grew just as I was made to do I loved her then, and love her still the love has changed, as it sometimes wi

because I'm smiling you think I'm happy it's just a mask so that you can't see suffocation, desperation, self destruction It's not your fault, they try to tell me things that happened you could not control mother, father, brother, you're not like them you can be so much better so I slide on the mask, try to focus on the task try to make believe I am real, instead of what I feel fake it, fake it, try to make it, smile and nod tears in private, so afraid of what I am demons inside that I have fed, not knowing now they're grown and they are hungry the words alone are not enough, blood sacrifice listen, listen to the sounds, words b

How and why did I reach this place full of self loathing like I was made to disappoint I go for the walks, exercise, take the pills for moments I think the sun comes through I picked up the guitar, plucked the strings try to think of happy things, taking small steps I fight against the dark inside, because I can't run or hide the dark inside of me does not want to be free it does not want to keep control, to live a life it does not want to create, or sing or dance all it wants is an end, no friends, no children, no wife A moment of control is all it needs, just to end my life

Light a candle for the hopeless let them see the light soon a fire is roaring making day of the night sing a song full of laughter so they can dry their tears share with them your joy so they can shed their fears share with them your darkness so they feel less alone teach them how to live here to give their hearts a home

Oh won't you come away with me we'll lay down near the sea we'll shed our clothes and our fears and cry our last sorrowed tears we'll shed our pasts, be free at last forgetting not the pain, not that remembering the reasons why and letting go, shrugging free you being you and me being me the light from it would be so bright it'd make day, of the darkest night I'd make love to you on that shore a further joining of I to you moments where there are no longer two a creation of bliss and love a promise of forever more that as long as I have breath in me that I'll love you, as you love me and as the surf comes rolling in I'll pl
