| Go Away You look at me, and say you see So deep into my soul Yet you don't fear what you find there You really should, you know I have hurt so many people And never once looked back My reputation is well earned It's well deserved, the flak So turn around, and walk away Right now, while you still can For if you stay, you'll just get hurt And that's not in my plan You are far too good a person To tie yourself to me So go away, get out of here Just go, and let me be copyright � 6/5/2001 Terri Lyn Stanfield All rights reserved |
| Predators What is this thing we have between us Attraction, temptation or lust There is no way that it could be love For there is not an ounce of trust Yet you invade my thoughts constantly You inhabit my dreams at night And whenever we're in the same room You remain in my line of sight This is a game of the predator We're both champions in the sport Pursue, overcome and then discard We're not looking for a consort It's the thrill of the hunt that lures us The more difficult, the better And the supreme test of mastery Is the two of us, together But one of us would have to concede Supremacy to the other And I do not see that happening It's much too fun fo discover Just how far we are willing to go To bring the other to their knees The contest is far too exciting For neither will give up with ease We are both enticed by the notion Totally commited to win And the spoils will go to the victor Then we'll be on the prowl again copyright � 6/10/2001 Terri Lyn Stanfield All rights reserved |
| Out Of My Hands How did you do it? Tell me, how did you get in I spent a lifetime building barriers And you walked right through them As if they weren't even there The day I met you, you claimed my heart And I never realized it was at stake I never even had the chance to fight There was no opportunity to run And I would have, I always did I've never willingly let anyone close But I will be eternally grateful That you didin't give me a choice copyright � 6/7/2001 Terri Lyn Stanfield All rights reserved |
