They say it comes in waves like a tsunami without a warning.
But between the moments of calm and the storm where does this love go?
Who do I bathe it in if you are no longer here to be cleansed?
Who will I hold when my hunger starts to ache?
I wanted it to be you always but, now you have swam away.
And I wanted to replace it with him though now, it feels too cheap and dirty.
I thought I plucked a new flower instead it was a weed.
Stopping in the shoulder of the road thinking I found a place to call home.
I’m tired of chasing when all I want is for you to meet me in the end.
The road keeps going, a never ending trail with no real destination.
Heaven and hell don’t seem to exist anymore in my mind.
And I learned to drive with the headlights off since meeting the other because their love is always me left in the dark.
I’m lonely like crazy in a sea of people and there’s not enough over the counter medication to put this ache to rest.
I try to baptize myself with cigarettes and beer.
I hope you come again and bathe me with the love that you plucked so quickly from me.
My grief for you has pulled away all the joy I once had for the world but, he simply tainted all the rest.
