baby, its cold,
and this torch inside
burning of madness and desire,
just wont warm
that empty ache filling the bed tonight......

its decembers  harsh chill
setting in as its days near the end,
its 2 am,
and the winds crying
all thru the night,
in a seductive song of me and you
so sweet and sad and cruel,
this hit and run love,
how you invade my heart
and ravage my soul
and make me yours,
over and over
only to leave again,

the song plays louder now
in the nights deep silence,
and i feel like im losing my mind
and i dont know why i got it so bad
for you,
tonight,
but its decembers harsh chill
as the year nears its end,
its 3am and
i ache and long for you

and i want to close the windows,
and make the crying go away,
but choose to just let it be,
as i know ill never catch the wind
but the song that plays beside it
is somewhere i could find your love for now

but choose to just let it be,
as i know ill never catch the wind
but the song that plays beside it
is somewhere i could find your love for now

'if the window were open
and the warm breeze touched your face
it would be I on the wind
singing of times wanted, times to be
and loves embrace would be within...'

hit and run love,

Yeah that's just about what it feels like , except most hit and runs end with death whereas these feelings linger on forever..

Inkedgoddess, this is beautiful, but in a sad way. I enjoyed reading it.

This is such an emotional write...it just aches,
and you've expressed the feelings well.
This grabbed me and had me hanging on every word.
Nicely done.

emotions explode in this one, agree with Cpat, sounds hungry--enjoyed!
