Gone Away
   
   
   Lighting crashes across the sky,  I sit in my den and  remember the brisk autumn nights we have shared.
A log burns in the fireplace just like the brandy I sit and taste. 

You went away to find yourself. 
What did you go looking for did you not know who you really are. 
I wonder if on your journey you will forget about me.
I know are love was pure but that’s no guarantee. 
Maybe you will decide you want to be free.
I know being with me isn’t at times all that easy,  but being free can get lonely.  

I wonder while you are miles away from me if you are dreaming of me.
I think of you continuously and sleep eludes me.
You’ve been gone so long I am starting to wonder if you are ever going to come back to me.
I’m scared that the love I gave wasn’t enough to make you happy.

While you’ve been gone I’ve searched deep inside my heart and realized how much you mean to me.
I love you so much you can’t even begin to conceive how you have affected me.  
Baby please come back I need you more then the air I breathe.
                 The Tear of Anger




   A tear comes to your eye as you turn and walk away.
I don’t even call out and ask you to stay. 
My heart was tuned to the  love we had now with four little words you turned it to stone.
I wonder did you ever really love me or was I just  playing the   fool for you.
You walked into my life so lonely and I gave you everything you wanted from a lover but now you say you’ve found another.

I sit and look through our photos I wonder now if your smiles were all just fakes.
Days go by and I am lost in my own thoughts as the sandman begs me to rest I progress into a sadder place one filled with questions and hate.
I cry myself to sleep but I am haunted by nightmares of the day you left me.

Warm summer nights that use to be our playground for love are now as cold and lonely as a crypt. 
Fall is setting in now and all  the flowers that are in our garden are withering away just like the love I felt for you.

Loves wicked flame has burnt me, but in time I know I will fall for another.
Did you really think I would love you forever.
I know how to play the game so what I had to have a little time to gain my heart back.  Now I am ready to find another lover, one that won’t make me suffer.
