"Take me with you"

Sep 10, 2008 15:56

I fell in love with a man
who couldn't be in love with  me- not completely, his heart was wrapped chains
I asked him why? Is it me, could it be, is it she that still rocks your insides?
He said it isn't me, it is the one that he could not contain, he could not tame
coincidently we had the same name....
He told me where I could find her
and remind her that his heart belongs to he...
who belongs to me.

I set out that night, a gloomy October
to a smokey bar at the strip
I looked over the crowded tables, squinting and straining
my eyes to just one tip
that he gave me on how I would recognized that cold blooded Trick

I surfed through a sea of chairs, beady eyes and drunken laughter
until I came to a wall
and in the dark, alone in a soundless corner
I saw two eyes a spark
her hair as wild as a lion's mane
her red lips burned like glowing embers in the night
I knew I was right
to pull a chair up and lean into her and say...

"I've come to collect what is mine, he's been wanting to give me his love all this time, but you have it hidden somewhere in your dark-ness"....

"Oh yeah?"  she responded, she leaned into me and with a laugh she said, "Is he still waiting for me.... to be in my corset and Jeans.... and fly into the room in my pointy hat and broom?"

I went to hit her, for her to feel my severity in this
Instead I hit a mirror
the cold glass clapped the back of my wrist

I stood still, eyes searching for that demon....
all I could see was the reflection
of me....

My mouth agape, I stood confused...
I was the one who had broken his heart so badly?
I am the reason that he cannot love me?

The me in the mirror had a bright white smile adorning her beautiful scarlet painted mouth
while my face twisted in horror at the creature I am inside.....
Broken a man ten years ago....
and now...
in  the background, Tori sings "Take Me With You"
I slid in the chair and recounted all the signs
His eyes, sad and forlorn
how could I ever go back...... home?
