Back Wax ...Are you so sure? You are accused of selling love to a man with an empty heart How do you plea? You plead with him to release the chains that bind him Are you so sure that they don't hold the pain he's put behind him? In the aftermath of passion, you told him of your old lovers How they broke you down He offered up without malice or expression Are you so sure, when it was over, they weren't broken too? You melted over him like candle wax, burning softly as you fell And soon turned hard and brittle While your flame still reaches through its shadows.... You are guilty, please confess, of loving an empty heart Oh dear god how could you? The splinters you piece together just might pierce you Are you so sure that they're not there to fend off further heartaches? You fell on his skin like candle wax, barely hot enough to burn Never flowing very far - far enough To make it to the floor through the shadows....   Contact:   keithotten61@gmail.com © 2006, Keith Otten    |   Back
