When Was It Over


I remember love
as i felt it then
ahhh....yes
i remember when you rested
your life in the palm of my hand
and closed your eyes in comfort
longing to be taken away
I remeber you darling
when you were priceless,
when your heavy heart found shelter
inside the furnace of my soul
darling when was it over?
how long have I been living my lie
ahh shit
its been a rainy night baby
and this twilight
hasn't been able to push through
my past was haunted by strangers
who would have thought
i'd find a stranger in you?

When was it really over baby
although i felt the storm approaching
i failed to hear the sirens screaming
It must have come when I was sleeping
or maybe even as I was dreaming
of pushing this love forward
not aware of the facade created
unaware this love was jaded
unaware that i'd been stripped
naked
by you my love,
ohhhh how that hurts Ela
how it hurts darling that
you had fed me to your vultures
ready to be torn to pieces
and i just stood there in denial
thinking love would come and save us...
