Waiting On The Past

By shadowsinthelight

A kiss cooled by fire

Passions unrestrained

Lips which brought me pleasure

Now bring me pain

I cross seas of damaged dreams

On winds of yesterday

When I sought to draw you near

You deftly slipped away

The rain is my masquerade

Clouds are my disguise

Pools that are gathering

Flow from red stained eyes

Promises are shattered

Broken vows remain

My love grows stronger still

As I whisper your name

Your friends, those vicious beings

With their litany of doubt

Their evil plans were rendered

They turned you inside out

Our fates are locked together

In a death embrace

I pray you will return

Refill this empty space

And I do believe in miracles

Angels and devils as well

I am too bad for heaven

And too good for this hell
