the muse - 2

the poetry of my heart

Photobucket

as if

my heart hangs heavy in my chest
dead weight at the centre of myself
as if the hand of God were squeezing
the essence of my life force
the barren taste of life without you
lies bitter on my tongue
yet i so longed for this freedom
the right to lust and hunt another
freed of the obligations of faithfulness
allowed the joy of a companion
close within my reach
i will not ask you to forgive me
you gave me only what i wished for
if ever you mourn love lost
know this wolf howls at the emptiness
a dark world engulfed in your absence
know too, that this wild heart
will love you always

just be bad


ah fuck, i am so angry
i'm friggin' spitting mad
why should i play the good, nice girl
when i can just be bad
i'm tired of waiting for you
your excuses have run out
it's time to fish or to cut bait
i really start to doubt
no more will i be begging
or asking for your hand
if you decide you want me
you buy the wedding band
no further word will pass my lips
of living at your side
i have a place, i'm happy here
you want me, you decide
you organize, you rearrange
you beg and i might come
until you do, i'll live my life
i'm sick of acting dumb
you need space and you need time
there always is a reason
why you and i can not be close
until another season
so take your time, enjoy your space
you have all that you need
you sort yourself and settle down
believe me, i won't plead.......
