| The Streets of My Mind I walk the streets of my mind alone Every moment of my every day All the loves that tried to save me Inevitably were ripped away Shadows lurk around every corner But I am not afraid Because their pain is not as deep As losing the love we made Nothing has ever lit the way Like your gentle touch That pulled me from the dark recesses That let me love you so much Yet I'm standing on these streets again Arms reaching out feverishly for you Tears stream endlessly down my face Pracying mercilessly that what we have is true My soul grips tightly to my heart Begging it not to go Body trembling with fear That it will indeed be so See, I've walked the streets of my mind alone That is not the scary part I have walked these streets alone so long But never, no never, without my heart Copyright 2000 Lauren Blackstone |
