Psychedelic colors running through my angry head
Visions of a woman and my lover in my bed
Feel like I could die but I wish he were dead instead
Psychedelic colors running through my angry head

Echoes of her laughter piercing through my ringing ear
Every step I take just leads me to my deepest fear
I don't want to lose you but I sure don't want you here
Echoes of her laughter piercing through my ringing ear

I can hear the promises you whispered in the dark
Intensify the images that tore my world apart
You say nothing happened but it's just that you were caught
I can hear the promises you whispered in the dark

Don't speak to me in voices of apologetic tone
Don't over estimate my need to have you for my own
I won't be the door mat of your choice when you come home
Don't speak to me in voices of apologetic tone

So feel my passion, take my pleasure, give me pain
I won't be the loser of your sick and twisted game
Take my passion, feel my pleasure, share my sin
My memory will haunt you
I have crawled beneath your skin

YES!!!
picking up my guitar... playing this now... will send you the music later if you want...my guess is, most likely you already have the tones and melody set....

LOVED THIS!

Thank you all! And to doreen peri... you have no idea how wonderful a complement... no... a thrill to hear that my words would inspire someone to "pick up their guitar".  Then again, being a fellow musician, I'm sure you do know. Thank you!!

Now if you got something to say just say and quit beating around the bush.ROFL  Your words are full of that spirit that drives you to higher places and beyond your past pains.  Way to go and wonderfully put.

Welcome to Passions by the way....I have not been able to do so yet and I am sorry it took me so long to do so.  My name is Mark and I am a poetholic.

Very, very impressive! The obvious melody of the poem give it the perfect intensity it requires and the lyrics are very powerful...a keeper, for sure.

I echo all the WOWS.  W O W!!!
This will be a hit if you elect to sing the lyrical masterpiece.  If I were a musician, I would already have the music in the mail to you.
Excellent!!!
