Never Wanted (these doubts)

The tears in your voice frighten me

The miles between us so I cannot see

The light flashing in your eyes

Truth hidden beneath all the half-lies

You should never have left me so long alone

I should never have allowed you to go…

 

Never wanted to see you cold

Never wanted to see you fall

 

I believed your promise, your word

So please come home and drop your sword

I respect also the power of your pen

But red is the ink as it pours from your veins

And the well-crafted words blur beneath my tears

Running together into an ocean of fear

 

Draw close and talk to me

Can we laugh again for real?
