Twisting Ties, Twisted Thoughts

Twisting ties, twisted thoughts, can’t stop thinking.

In your arms, where I lay, so deceiving.

With a kiss goodbye, your disappearance, is unnerving.

Knowing your selfishness keeps you from me.

Outstretched hands can’t keep me from escaping,

Though they long to entangle me endlessly.


Take another sip, of your red, red wine,

Take another sip for me.

While you’re dreaming with your eyes wide open,

Shut them a little, maybe then you’ll see.


That it hurts to hurt and aches to ache,

It’s not always bad for a little heartbreak.

This is your first time, it happens to us all,

Keep your chin up, don’t let it fall.


Swirls of color, swirls of gray, my head is spinning.

Can’t see straight anymore, you’re finally winning.

But this is no contest, no, not one at all,

Though it feels like you are in control.

We know your desire is to haunt my memory.


Light up a cigar, blow some smoke,

Take a deep, deep breath.

Your road is ending, where to turn?

The only way is back.


Home.

Or not a home at all.


It hurts to hurt and aches to ache,

It’s not always bad for a little heartbreak.

This is your first time, it happens to us all,

Keep your chin up, don’t let it fall.


There you go, stomping on toes,

To feel a little inferior.

Deep down you know that you can’t forget.

You love the friction, you love the fight,

Watching the light in their eyes burn out.

Hurting everyone you know just to feel something.


You cry out, in silence, when no one can hear.

Forgiving yourself is your greatest fear.

Take a step back, think it over,

Before you jump ten steps closer.


It hurts to hurt, and aches to ache,

It’s not always bad for a little heartbreak.

This is your first time, it happens to us all,

Keep your chin up, don’t let it fall.
