/Flirt

Haunted by the failure you see before you
needing something from you
travel into my dreams
with my back against the wall

All i can do
is feel this way
and pretend that your face
holds a smile

Yet i feel
your sullen eyes
staring into my soul
into the abyss

I feel I've failed you
while we both knew
this was something new
my feelings for you

Never had the chance
to become your last
never had a chance
you left far to fast

Do you think of me
as i think of you
think of me
think of fondly

I never ran away
cursed here forever
yet you led me astray
you left on that very day

Silently i bid you farewell
cursed as i am in this hell
only time can tell
if i shall survive

Far I've travelled
yet have gained no ground

Far away from your warmth
nothing can hold back the day
silently i wish you well
silently i cry, tears remembered

Here i am
still the same man
here i stay
awaiting the day

The mirror shows
the very face i see
is something dark and cold
how long have i been without the fold

What awaits me now
can i trust in your judgement
yet you punished me
left forever, never to return

Looking back
i remember the smiles
its all coming back
i remember the day
