It's five O'clock in the morning first night alone's slipped away the curtains on this open window flutter as the breeze's play and I stare out at the lonely street gazing through the falling rain as I sit here thinkin why we said good-bye yesterday. Chorus: we got Wrapped up in each other trying so hard to find love but we were strangers together lying in each others arms longing for that magic feeling and a love song we'd both know until we ended up believing in the lies that gave us hope In two more hours I leave this room to fade into the working day and I'll see you around sometime but things'll never be the same Still I wish I could hold you now one more time to ease the pain cause this emptiness I can't express has filled my heart again. Chorus: we got Wrapped up in each other trying so hard to find love but we were strangers together lying in each others arms longing for that magic feeling and a love song we'd both know until we ended up believing in the lies that gave us hope Copyrighteltrue@E3B1G92001/roach&morrisinc. The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to re-language historie [This message has been edited by ethome (08-29-2002 05:15 AM).] |

PT darling man this speaks so clearly of a memory that needs to wrapped and kept away less it hurt the soul. Wonderful writing darling man utterly utterly wonderful Somewhere in time there waits a sigh Waiting softly for its last goodbye The heart that sits and watches silently Wishes for a vision with some clarity But while heart’s memory lingers on There’s no chance of hearing love’s sweet song The memory keeps you locked inside And your heart seeks a place to hide Open your soul let the memory fade And you’ll walk in sunshine not in shade I love this utterly utterly utterly as always YOUR writing is simply perfect   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Definately a great write. Sad though. But with each new end comes a new beginning.  |
