And as I wander through this now...
I wonder at whats going down on...
The passion lost..the magic gone...
seems I burned out as I fell down..
I am no longer lost...
but fear where I have been found...
sounds of empty all around..
Shards of thought like broken glass..
paint a path to a painful past...
To when I was broken...
and wished to be whole..
but as I see it...
Now I've lost it all

Pleasures' a legend
contentment a myth
Happiness is traded...
with the sum of pain...
yet all this is swallowed
when loneliness reigns..
till you could to...
this place when I stand..

take care, jm



 and you can say baby...
baby can I hold you tonight
maybe if told you the right words...
at the right time,
you'd be mine...
baby can I hold you tonight...
