it's been awhile since i've been around this part of town
words portray a mirror image
of how i display
my emotional disarray.
it's only been a few months
since we've parted ways
and it seems like so much longer.
in the midst of a war
this silent affair
taken place in our hearts
too painful to bare...
i hear your voice
on the opposite side
of my front door.
i feel so alone
and i finally allow the tears
to flood these now hazel eyes.
i flung opened the door
and somehow found
comfort in these arms
i used to know.
my baby sits in confusion
stunned by an abrupt phone call
she hops in the shower
and then she'll be on her way
to pick me up
and i'll spend another night
in purple sheets
too timid to fully express
all the things i need
another phone call
and i tell the truth
i hope you finally see...
all that you mean to me...
of how i display
my emotional disarray.
