Ayami-Tsurai

 Cool marble pressed against porcelain skin, the warm sun of early summer crept up shadowed marble steps. Warm golden rays crawl over long pale limbs, suddenly, movement. Amber eyes fluttered open, slowly clearing the fog out of them with a few blinks. Sam rose from her sleep holding her hand up to shield her sight from the bright morning sun. Where was she? How long had she been asleep? Her head ached and she wished she could just remember what had brought her to this strange place. She slowly surveyed her surroundings. The steps she had awoken to find herself sleeping on led to an ideal lake, surrounded by trees covered in late summer bloss

I find myself waiting, Although you'll never come, I find myself wanting, Though I know I'll never have you again. So now I think it's time, To end this toxic thing, To say good bye. I didn't want it to come to this, I wish we could stay friends, But I don't see that happening anymore. You took all the love I had to give, But when you left, You left me empty. Now new guys come, Say the want my heart, Well it's gone.

It used to be bliss, Being with you was so sweet, But now the pain is searing, It's so cold in this summer heat. How do I do this? Are we supposed to be friends now? I don't know how to be that, It's impossible to see through the clouds. I can't sleep anymore, You stole it with my heart, I can still feel you when I lay down, What happened to your part? Wasn't this supposed to be love? I pick up the pieces and look around, Trying to leave, But my heart's like broken glass on the ground. You weren't supposed to do this, It wasn't supposed to happen, I thought everything was fine, Now nothing can save me from this end. Inside

So we go through life, Our hearts on our sleeves, Trying to tug the knives, Out of our backs, But the sentiment is useless, We're trying to hard, Wasting piss poor excuses, Running on fumes. This is the way it goes, Always looking around, Because everyone knows, While nobody tells, Never break the big taboo, Don't let your dirty mouth, Even whisper divine truth, It's jaded in this air. Living hands cold to the touch, The search for warmth, Is valued too much, Always searching it nevery quits, The world is turning, Over the roasting pits, Found the prey, How it seems to be, Our. Lucky. Day...

I'll lock away my heart, The box so well hidden, Like a sacred piece of art. Every time I think of you, I'll stop before the ache can start, I'm locking you away too. All my memories, All this pain and emptiness, A way to precious reprieve. Pathway so trodden, By so many other wretched souls, Filled with love soon forgotten. Makeup filled tears of murkey gray, Like beauty's graveyard, This is the place I'll lock you away. The only way to keep my sanity, Is to pick up my broken heart, Piece by shattered piece. I can't do that with you around, Haunting me with memories, Fleeting moments of imagined sound. No more dwelling o

I feel so empty without you, Dull like a burned out star, It's like nothing ever before, All I do is wonder where you are. For so short a time, We burned so bright, But trying to hold you, Is like trying to hold sunlight. Without you here, My world feels so grey, My heart aches, my soul burns, Tears soaked in rain. You're all I want, Come back to me, Bring me my smile, Put my heart at ease. Gypsy Man, Traveling far from love, Return to open arms, It's you I'm thinking of. My sweet Gypsy Man.
