The truth...
Tonight I shelter under the street lights,
They buzz and flicker and represent why I can't sleep tonight,
Unwanted within the life I was living,
Not needed in the ways I wanted to be,
I cannot shield myself,
Or distort the truth bearing down on me.
I wish you could come back for me,
Rescue me before it's too late,
But I know your gone,
My dearest possession,
The love in my heart,
The light in my eyes,
The spring in my step,
And now your just a war in my mind,
I'll never win,
Because your not coming back.
