"and i could easily fall from grace

then another would take my place

for the chance to behold your face"

-----Alan Parsons Project-----

 

*

 

the sun turns slowly around the sky

and i see that look in your eyes

dreamy, almost weeping,

for far away lands and a stranger's hands

but don't you know my own ache for you?

i make no demands

yet i slip through your fingers like sand

won't you take me with you, too?

 

i reach for you when you turn away

choke down the words i long to say

you need so much more than i can give

but this is no way for you to live

i'd sweep you off your feet

carry you to the place you seek

and together, we'd your stranger greet

and though his love he'd be professing

your union i would grant my blessing

because i love you but i am weak

 

your face is turn toward the silver moon

and i grip the rail, try not to swoon

my affections are well-hidden

though i'm plagued by desires unbidden

i will not breathe a word to you

there are a few things i cannot do

yet part of me wishes that you knew

and then maybe you'd see

those stranger's hands belong to me

 

my hands could find contentment in tracing

the lines of your elfin face

every night for the rest of my life

i could watch you sleep at night

grant your head a rest

against the cavern of my chest

filled with naught but a heart

that beats for you and is torn apart

the need to taste your lips

is almost more than i can resist

i ache to be the one who shares your skin

but you will never know my sin

you will never know my sin

 

the sunlight dances at the dawn of the morn

and even though i am feeling torn

i wake you gently, with the brush of my hand

today i leave for distant lands

you tell me to stay, but you don't understand

how can i look upon your face

yet live my life without your grace

the sun will still turn across the skies

you'll still see with dreamer's eyes

and though my love is so disguised

i'd rather leave than be despised

for the love that aches inside my skin

 

you will never know my sin

        WhoA! Duuuudddddeeee! Heavy! This whole site is dope...in both senses. *Takes a puff.* Ah. Much better. Now I can't see straight again.

 

        Alright. So, like, this is totally cool. It's all about love and infidelity, am I right? But it seems like the chick really cares about the guy, even though she has been most heinously unfaithful to him. She would rather leave him than hurt him. Whoa! Too cool! When I'm high, I'm dope. And when I'm dope, I get 'da mad insight, knawhatImean?!

Hitting myself in the head always makes me smarter too! I just know it because afterward everything is much less... complicated...

:;giggiling slightly at Zool's comment, she turns to HLaH.:: Excellent, it speaks immesurably of pain that is fixable, but fear of rejection is also a powerful weapon when wielded in our own hands. It gets more detailed, more anguished as you go along, but the last line settles the matter, as if its a lid keeping a bottle full of rampant emotions in check.

 

Once again, marvelous!
