~~SUNDERED ME~~
Music = "When I Fall In Love"

[IMAGE]

Looking into my rear view mirror
I see you walking away.
I take a last look as you walk to your car.
It was so wonderful seeing you today.


[IMAGE]

Driving home I could not help
the longing I felt inside to hold you .
Wonderful music that you gave me,
softly played as moments past came into view.

[IMAGE]

Going over each minute in my mind,
a smile emerged across my face.
Enshrining how you kissed my lips,
I touched them in a slumbered trace.

[IMAGE]

I can still feel your breath on mine,
passion deep, a romantic night.
Pleasure so rare I want to capture it.
Every moment with you feels so right.

[IMAGE]

Slipping back now to the real dismay.
The shadow of myself I begin to see.
Uncontrollable sorrow walking through the door.
The shadow replaces the sundered me.

[IMAGE]

Looking for answers for why I want to flee.
I want to turn and walk back out the door.
I walk in beside my empty shell.
A life that was here is no more.



[IMAGE]

Tucked and hidden in my sequestered room.
Flashes of how to escape take me away.
There is no rescue, no one will come.
I am on my own to go or stay.


[IMAGE]

The night becomes my only friend,
for at its end I am closer to you.
My eyes try to resist the drowsy spell.
How many nights will I go through?

[IMAGE]

The end is near for this life that once was.
Grieving still because it was once me.
Will tomorrow bring the same results?
What will happen when I am free?

[IMAGE]

Holding me in your arms in future years.
Can you promise me you will always stay?
Will love hold us and keep us both content?
Will my shadow stay away?
