the heart is sometimes a mystery

my heart is on your hands. (Photo credit: WolfS♡ul)

once upon a lonely night
I longed for love’s delight

when she opened herself up to me
she trapped me in a life of fantasy

I have to admit that I was scared
and don’t fully understand what we shared

maybe someday she will speak to me
for only she can explain this little mystery

she awaits

like a demon doll of desire
in her not so holy, tight attire
burning me with a blistering red fire

I fight against hell’s fury scorned
for my lost soul I weeped and mourned
although, truth be told I had been warned

until caught in her evil caress
all undone under emotional duress
left with a painful memory I fight to repress

Medusa selling snake oil from her hair
with me frozen stone cold by her stare
and fatally caught forever in her sinful snare

caught in the lesson of repeating history
she awaits, she awaits for me
that female mystery

She’s Gone

she’s gone, she’s gone
but exists in my mind
filling in the empty spaces in time
that I see, where she used to be

like a hole in my heart
like a ditch in the ground
I feel torn apart 
and pushed around
by love, by love

is it live or is it memory?
is she where she appears to me to be?
or is this delusion
my reality

here and gone
as always she’s a mystery
she’s gone but exists in me

like a hole in my heart
like a ditch in the ground
I feel torn apart
and pushed around
by love, by love

like a hole in my heart
like a ditch in the ground
I feel torn apart
and pushed around
by love, by love

she’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone

My Girl

walking down a lonely street
always hopin’ that I’ll meet

my girl, my girl, my girl

going thru my life alone
wanna call her on the telephone

my girl, my girl, my girl

she’s always a mystery
never knowin’ where she’ll be

my girl, my girl, my girl

she such a pretty sight
I’m flyin’ higher than a satellite

my girl, my girl, my girl

but you know I love her still
and you know I allways will

my girl, my girl, my girl

A New Leaf

Image via Wikipedia

I’m goin’ to turn over a new leaf
I’m gonna let a new day shine

and the light will shine for me
and then the light will shine on me

I’m gonna break away from the past
I’m gonna make the future last (fast)

and then the hope will finally be
and what I hope I’ll find is me

but it’s so hard to break free
when the past is all you can see
and the future is just a mystery
