Festered Love

Here come and go the moments of sanity

That tells me I’m in too deep

And every time I open my eyes

You’re there to let me know I’m too weak

Do you ever think about this power

That you hold over me

And if you do, would you abuse it

In spite of loving me

I hung you photograph on the wall

It stares blank at me through black and white

Then you were in my dreams

Never leaving until the morning light

I may be sick, I may be wrong

But I just can’t do what ‘s right

I need you away.  I can’t think any more about it

With you any more tonight

I won’t fill up your empty heart again

I won’t pick up the broken pieces anymore

I will never be yours again

I will never shed tears ever again… again!

I found another chance to leave you today

But it’s just more of the same

And I’ll never learn from my mistakes

So I will probably do it again

This time it may even kill me

I don’t mind.  I’d like to remain

Hidden away from any real answers

It’s not my fault if you’re to blame
