Array ( [sid] => 136594 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Saving My Graces [time] => 2007-08-09 01:01:40 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I'm sitting alone now
Simply unmoved by your words
One a year ago
They would have caused me to fall over
The memories are floating
Like film through a lens
My eyes want to tear up
But they're too dry from yesterday's spill over

And I have listened to too many lines
Fallen for too many smiling faces
They're only out for my soul
You're only out for saving my graces

There was a time
When my eyes shone like gems
And the best thing for me
Was watching your hand holding my hand
But your eyes turned cold
Your words, harsh in tone
As your hands got harder
I fell away into the deep winter snow

And I have listened to too many lines
Fallen for too many smiling faces
They're only out for my soul
You're only out for saving my graces

I don't care what you've done
Dry off, I'll hold your gun
I don't care where you go
I'll follow...
Through oceans and streams
Through heartache and dreams
I don't care where you run
I'll follow...
I'll follow you

And I have listened to too many lines
Fallen for too many smiling faces
They're only out for my soul
You're only out for saving my graces [comments] => 3 [counter] => 162 [topic] => 2 [informant] => Adreana [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

I'm sitting alone now
Simply unmoved by your words

And I have listened to too many lines
Fallen for too many smiling faces
They're only out for my soul
You're only out for saving my graces

And I have listened to too many lines
Fallen for too many smiling faces
They're only out for my soul
You're only out for saving my graces
