Any Lost Lover

                 I

I am trapped inside my darkness

Rusty sword stuck in my back

Numb and cold I watch my blood

dripping down a hollow crack

I try to crawl in after it

but get lost inside my mind

So much of once gave me life

is now impossible to find

               II

And I cant avoid the nightmare

‘cause I alone held the dream

The soft voices of her tale

have become a killing scream

                 III

I Just never pulled me through

From the darker side of you

It’s too late now, anyway
Only wish you could’ve stayed

For all the trappings and the chains

Could never compare to the pain Of knowing

I’ve lost you

                   I

Thought attacks to stab at feeling

Hurt and anger must play dead

There is no strength left for rope

So I’m hanging by a thread

The sharp pain consumes my body

As I fall onto the blade

Way to deep to be retracted

Way too deep to feel it fade

                II

And I cant avoid the nightmare

‘cause I alone held the dream

The soft voices of her tale

Have become a killing scream

              III

After all is said and done

Morning comes and you’re still gone

Far away beyond my touch

What you left behind ain’t much

Smiling girls out on the streets

Can’t erase your memories
and knowing
That I've lost you, 
still wanting you, still wanting you

Adrian Boutureira- 1988
