time and time again

Time and Time again

It was easier as friends

But lovers’ lust tainted what was us

And now we drown in what we have created

You’re my master, my puppeteer

Your strings control my every step

And so constrict my every breath

Until that day when you’ll forget

The pain that I have caused you

I can only but imagine, what lurks behind those eyes

The love, the hate, the devil in disguise

That caused those sleepless nights,

In fear of dreams escaping..

Of when we were in love

All we need is time

To heal that heart, the soul, the mind

To fade the memories to dust, so we can trust, again

Let the waters fall and wash away the past

Just pray to God this time it lasts, for us

You promised

Let’s move forward, Love, together

Stop playing these silly games

Now my heart is at its weakest, for everything is drained

I can’t do it again; I want you in my life,

To have to hold to love, to feel, let’s try this one more time

I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine

Just please don’t hurt me

Your arms around my waist pull me closer

Kiss my lips, my neck, my shoulder

Down to the last inch, and let me hold you

Let the pendulum swing, until the break of dawn

The start of a new day, the end to a new song

Now I must go. How I hate leaving

Like a kid with the crush that lasted a lifetime

I remember those words, I remember those nights when

I’d stay up and think about us and how it was,

Until I dozed off then the alarm went off, then in a rush got ready

So as to not miss the bus, to your home where you were still asleep

I’d kiss your forehead, and you’d awake then pull me near

And then we’d sleep, and dream of those better days that now are dear

The taste of your last cigarette on our tongues

The smoke constricts and fills the lungs

Runs through our veins and we unbind

Heart and soul, body and mind,

Blowing doubts, stopping time

In hopes to leave it all behind

Like ashes

I promise this time will be right Love

We’ll live every second, capture every moment

From sunrise to sunset, my heart is yours, you own it

Just give it time, let the pain subside

Let the memories drown, the mind unwind

Let’s stop the clocks and re-define

What it means to be in love

Requiem of the lovers’ tale

One in which their love entrails,

Blossoms and in the end prevails

For they have every moment captured

The memories are only those,

Of when each other’s heart they’d hold

Without an ounce of pain, in trust that it will all remain

Marry me, let’s get away

In hopes of finding better days

Through the valley of the shadow of death

Let’s fear not, without regrets

Leave the memories of our enemies

Take your hand in mine, just give it time
to love me...
