Left Behind

By VagrantGypsy

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Somehow I figured it out by now Took me long enough All the hurt all the pain Embedded into me So now my eyes are open Took me long enough To see your true colors were always that bland Always there those colors were As colors often are I lost myself inside you somewhere Somewhere deep in that cold,dark hole And that part you stole from me I may never steal back Too afraid to touch you Too afraid to try To afraid to find myself in those colors that you hide So go on,take everything away Turn your back and Leave your trail of ashes Use that paint brush to cover up and hide I lost myself inside you somewhere Somewhere deep in that cold,dark hole And that part you stole from me I know now I will never get back So take all that you've gotten from me I hope it was enough and I will go on sweeping up the Trail of ashes that you've left behind Written May 3rd, 2001 © on Sep 09 2001 02:26 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
