Clawing at the Lid of Her CoffinA Poem by Barry SheltonIntro: This operation it required a steady hand One thing I'm afraid that I will never have Saving this, it's impossible to grasp And that's when the line went flat
Verse 1: I buried my heart in the desert Never again to be found No, I wont let myself revert back to an old familiar sound of glass hearts breaking Though my intentions were gold She was souless for long ago her's was sold
Chorus: Cold eyes, they try to pull me in It just isn't fair, she haunts me from within You wont catch me dear I buried you far too deep And I feel nothing now I wont live in fear
Verse 2: You had your hands around my throat I was gasping for air You had your hands around my throat when no one else was there You had me right where you wanted me But not even close to where I was meant to be
Repeat Chorus
Bridge: As the wind blows nobody knows what memories it brings of you and me But I won't fall victim again No matter how discreet I tear these reminders from the walls Just to forget your face Your presence no longer lingers here No, not even a trace. © 2013 Barry Shelton |
