If you wait, just another day,
in this place, before you walk away...

As I sit here in the pouring rain,
I wonder why I feel such intense pain...

There were blue skies,
not a tear in sight...

He holds you and controls the way you live,
he holds you until you decide to give...

In a darkened room I sit alone,
in this place I once called home...

My hourglass is out of sand,
time just slipped right through my hand...

Too many days, too many nights,
too many ways, can't get this right...

You're everything that I've known,
all the love that I've shown...

I've lived inside this cage,
a prisoner of my rage...

I'm pleading, and bleeding,
I can't stop this needing tonight...

This is the poem I can't write,
I've struggled with it day and night...

I've felt the pain, I've felt the pressure,
I've done it worse, I've done it better...
