Two

"Two"

I still can hear it burning
that scorched flesh so pale, so soft
I still can see you turning
accusing me that I never loved
Oh I know it well, ugly and sweet,
that mocking smile haunting my memory
Oh I know it well, cutting so deep,
that hint of madness in your treachery

I've longed for this like I long for life
I've longed for touches to keep me whole
I hoped your love could keep me alive
knitting the bones of my broken soul
Oh I know it well, this unanswered love,
that died the day I lost all last hope
Oh I know it well, in dreams and awak
that fruitless love just wouldn't go away

So we fight in dreams and we fight in vain
we hurt each other and we hurt alone
And when the day comes when we meet again
we'll tear this to pieces, once and for all
Oh we know it well, this game we played,
two missmatched kings standing at the gate
Oh we know it well, ugly and sweet,
holding the other dear in misery...
