Found you there tomorrow
Sitting by the briar patch
The other side you teased me
Sitting there smiling
Tried to reach you
Catching myself on every single thorn
Cutting my temples
And disable me to think
At least it's not water
And at least I won't sink
Press on through the briar patch
Thorns driving into me, deep
Sitting there smiling
Watching me weep
Poke out my blue eyes
Scratch me down my throat
The thorns that rip at my flesh
Cut deep to my chest and find my heart
Clutching my tattered clothing
And holding my bleeding head
You there smiling
Can't remember what you said
Halfway through the briar patch
My body covered in thorns
Poison thoughts that taint me
And your teasing smile
Not really waiting for me
Just sitting for a while
Moments in time
And I'd go through this patch
You'll fall down one day
Me, waiting there to catch
Tear-filled eyes that scream for you
And thorns that drive me so insane
You sitting there smiling
Anything but plain
Begging for some comfort
And praying for an end to the pain
The thorns that catch at my clothing
And that burn into my soft flesh
You teasing me from the other side
And sitting there smiling
Get me out of the briar patch
Escape me from the pain
Almost through the briar patch
Yet, we both know I'll do it again
Finally reaching relief
Falling into the grass
Dead and ashes all around me
You even left the briar patch
Red flowing around me
Thorns sticking from my hair
Clothes torn to pieces
And my regrets thrown everywhere
Wait here by this briar patch
Picking out my thorns
For this pain never resides from me
In the briar patch my heart mourns

| I can really relate to this. Some loves are worth even the most unbearable pain, or so it seems. Love always finds a reason to forgive |
