Memories and Lyrics


I'm not really a writer - things pop into my heat now and then and demand to be written down, but not good otherwise; and at the moment there's too many competing emotions to make any coherent statement. So I'm going to do what I've done before, and use a selection of song lyrics to express my feelings on this -- both my birthday, today, and the 1-yr anniversary of the loss of my boy at the end of the week. Kind of traces my emotions from the beginning or our relationship, and the hesitancy he had for so long because he'd been hurt so bad, to grief, to (not quite yet) healing:

1 --------------------
Please let me try to
I can heal the pain
That you're feeling inside
Whenever you want me
You know that I will be
Waiting for the day
That you say you'll be mine
He must have really hurt you
To make you say the things that you do
He must have really hurt you
To make those pretty eyes look so blue
Now you can't see my love is good
And that I'm not him
 
2 --------------------
There's a big old hole in the middle of you
'Cause somebody left you black and blue
Yeah we all make promises we can't keep
And they're paper thin but cut so deep
One day we're together then we're apart
Why won't you let me fill up your empty heart
 
3 --------------------
I never cried the way I cried over you
As I put down the telephone and the world it carried on
As I watch the sun go down, watching the world fade away
All the memories of you come rushing back to me
All I want to do is kiss you once goodbye, goodbye
 
4 -------------------
I don't want to swim the ocean,
I don't want to fight the tide,
I don't want to swim forever,
When it's cold I'd like to die.
 
5 --------------------
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
(Maybe not tonight)
 
6. --------------------
When you feel you've had enough
From this world that's giving up on you
On you...
Sometimes we can relax walking through the fire
And when it all turns to dust
We'll watch the ashes light up and we'll rise
We'll rise
And we'll be fine (And we'll be, And we'll be)
(And we'll be, And we'll be)

==================================

Not quite to the point of "being fine", but I know I'll get there - if only because my boy would want me to.
