Array ( [sid] => 93959 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Sunset Memories [time] => 2005-05-10 20:44:13 [hometext] => ...when you left, you took away the life of your son... [bodytext] => Waves crashing onto the rocks, a lioness lamenting rage
Bare feet scorching the sand below, trapped in a monkey's cage
Cool sea breeze runs across my face, memories come rushing back
Trees rustling wildly in the wind, only one thing my heart did lack.

It seemed like only yesterday, that you stood at my door,
Reminiscences filled with remorse, my mind and soul did boar
You promised you'd never leave me, but does it mean a thing?
Fragmented words bound in essence, never did they sing.

Both our spirits travelling alone, both down different lanes
My face seemed calm, but inside I was writhing in pain,
You didn't see the sorrow that was written on my face
You didn't reach that finish line of the broken hearts race.

I tried to tell you so many things, but you just walked away
And now I'm trying to live life as it come, just day by day
Why couldn't you see my pain, the grief that I held inside?
Outside I put on a facade, but inside, I hopelessly cried.

I wonder what you're doing today; I wonder how you make it through
But I guess your love for me is not the same as mine for you
You don't understand the anguish I'm under, the torture and the strife
While you are filled with pleasure, I'm under the knife.

A terrible secret filled with vengeance, never to return
You left me standing out in the cold, left me out here to burn
Never once did you think about what this may have done to me
All you thought about was yourself, my feelings you failed to see.

And as I walk alone, echoes filled with writhing screams
Only your face I can picture, it clouds my ideal dreams
What's there to live for now, you were my whole world
But ever since you left, down to the rocks my existence was hurled.

Maybe you've got a new life now, a better one than before
But to me, you'll always be the secret to my heart's door,
And if you don't want to return for my sake, please do for someone
Because when you left, you took away the life of your son.

Waves crashing onto the rocks, a lioness lamenting rage
Bare feet scorching the sand below, trapped in a monkey's cage
