( Alabama recorded a song that inspired this one ~ It is a bit long ... sorry )
Sure is good to see you. God, its been a long, long time
I see the questions in you eyes, go ahead get 'em off your mind
Would you like a cup of coffee, or maybe a bite to eat ?
I know a place where we can go, its just right down the street
Guess I never thought I'd run into you this way
Lord knows if I had, I'd have rehearsed what to say
So ... how'm I doin' ? Well, I guess I'm doin' fine
There ain't no new love in my life, I haven't had the time
Do I still think about you ? Now there's a loaded gun
If there's an easy answer, I can't come up with one ...
So, If you don't wanna know the truth
Don't look in my eyes
If you don't wanna know how I've been doin'
Since you said good bye
Don't take my hand in yours
Don't read behind this mask
Keep in mind there may be questions better left unasked
Day after day, I struggle to survive
If you don't wanna know the truth
Don't look in my eyes
You make it look so easy, the way you're movin' on
Seems to me you've hardly even noticed that I'm gone
Do you know now why you left ? Could it be you were afraid ?
Were the strength of your emotions just too much for you to take ?
Have you found somebody new to keep you warm now late at night ?
You turn your head to me, but just can't look me in the eye
If I don't wanna know the truth, you said
Don't look you in the eyes
If I don't wanna know what you've been feeling
Since you said good bye
Don't take your hand in mine
Don't read behind your mask
Keep in mind there may be questions better left unasked
Day after day, you do your best to live a lie
If I don't wanna know the truth
Don't look in your eyes
Now as I sit before you, I'll try to keep it all inside
All the things that I've been feelin', I'll do my best to hide
But Baby here I am, in my mind down on my knees
Begging, pleading, screaming at you, you don't have to leave
I've got nothin' left to prove, so listen one more time
If you want to know the truth, just look in my eyes
( But ) If you don't wanna know the truth
Don't look in my eyes
If you don't wanna know how I've been doin'
Since you said good bye
Don't take my hand in yours
Don't read behind this mask
Keep in mind there may be questions better left unasked
Day after day, I struggle to survive
If you don't wanna know the truth
Don't look in my eyes
Day after day, I'm just tryin' to survive
But if you're lookin' for the truth ...

Nazmythian, you have always been so kind in commenting on my work.. So I shall give this kindness back. This poem caught my eye, and has had me captivated till the very end... My heart has been wrenched mercilessly, and tears a being shed... I am so sorry. Losing a love such as this one, there are days when there isnt a reason to live... I can relate to this peice very much, my friend... Excellent flow, beautiful words, and extremely sad... But all in all, perfect! You have talent, Nazmythian... Standing Ovation! I hope this is an added item into your collection of the Past... May your days be filled with happiness, and a love that is everlasting... All my love and respect to you, dearest friend.. You shall be seeing more of me from now on. Peace be with you, and God bless.
Your fervent fan and friend,
Fleur. |
