If anyone falls in love....

[djdiane]

I thought I had a good hook in my head one night. I got out of bed to write what I could and have come back and tweaked it several times...still not there yet, but I want a place to keep my stuff, so here it is.

Done Leaving Me Yet

When he left I thought the pain might actually kill me
I sat down with the devil but he didn't want my soul.
I suppose that was the first time he came to say goodbye.
It wasn't long before we drifted to the love we had been making
one last time, or so he thought.
No, he wasn't done leaving me yet.

He made me believe he was my hero
when really he was barely just a man
looking for the easy way out,
to beat the system if he can.
He'll sweep you off your feet and
he'll mean it when he says it.
But look out for the silent times
there's so much power in silent rage.
And when he's shutting down
you can bet he's packing up.

He stayed away just long enough to keep me hanging on,
and when I finally found another, it was the same old song.
He suddenly needed the friendship he and I had shared,
I let my new love out the door and we were making love
just one last time, or so he thought.
But he wasn't done leaving me yet.
He never intended to open his heart,
he counted on me to be foolish.
My heart never closed,
I was aching for him to come back and he did,
for a moment. I wish I had known
that last time was just that.
I wish I could take back the pleasure.
I wish I had known that was really the end,
He was finally done leaving me.

Yet....I can't help but love him, and need him and want him
and although I've tried hard, I can't seem to hate him.
So I have made peace with my tormented soul,
I love him and that doesn't matter at all,
'Cause he's definitely done leaving me now.
