M.L. Johnson.
When does thou feel wanting?
When dost thou betray me,
As this wide world is ending?
What part of love is lacking?
What part escapes your mind?
What part of love is lacking,
As strands of joy unwind?
In winter thou betray me,
In summer I reply.
In winter thou betray me,
Regardless what we try.
The part of love that's lacking
The part not in our mind
The part of love that's lacking
Grows stronger over time.
Unless one stops to think
One stops to reconcider
Unless one stops to think
And ponder thy own center.
Dost Jesus lie within?
Or doth a devil dwell?
Dost Jesus lie within,
Our evil twisted shell?
Why dost thou betray me?
Why must I cry alone?
Why dost thou betray me?
Why?
awaiting my prince,
but with all of his power
their came not a kiss.
Lest not one I dreamed of
In my chambers so warm,
HIs lips, they felt hallow
A temple of scorn.
Away I did turn
Insulted and hurt
When a thought came to me,
perhaps I am curt.
Perhaps this is the right
And my mind is the wrong
Perhaps love really is
Nothing like the old songs
So together we stayed
Near forever it seemed,
When one unexpected
Appeared on the scene.
He was different than most,
Shorter and guile,
But he smiled most freely
With eyes of star style.
Across the sea he had come
Over hill, over dale
And now he was here
To drink a good ale.
We talked for a while
Just he and I
Shareing all of our stories
Over blackberry pie.
His belifes, they astounded
His personality too
Just hearing him speak
Threw me for a loop.
But he wasn't my dream,
I had found him already.
Yet I couldn't stop thinking
What might come from this setting.
It was then I decided
To let go of my dream
And grasp hold something useful,
Something more than just wishing.
I agreed to accompany
Him on a date.
What he had in store,
I just could not wait.
The romance was briming
Right over the top
The magic was growing
It just wouldn't not stop!
I thought, "This is it!
I've found him at last!"
But that was before:
Before the big clash.
We started to argue
Over little, small things,
but they made quite an impact
On we, who were starting.
I ran away once
Mabey twice in that time
Every time he chased after
Brought me out of the lime.
I kept thinking "What's he after?
What's he want, a repree?
And why does he chase after
A wretched girl like me?"
If he had run off
time again, like I had,
I would have walked out
yelling "bad, you're just bad!"
"Ah, that's the difference
between you and I,
I stay for the duration
You cut out when I die."
The remark stung a lot
And, I'm sure, left a mark.
But the truth still remained,
I was left in the dark.
Right when trouble hit
I ran straight away,
Instead of sticking around
To finish the play.
But nows all said and done,
We're married of course,
And I don't run away
No, I don't; No remorse
It�s the road we take
Where everything changes:
The world in a quake.
When the people around you,
The ones that you love,
Are suddenly strangers
Aloof like a dove.
The pain that I feel
All bundled inside
Is the kind that is piercing
And straight to the mind.
It�s hard to look forward
When you keep looking back
Though back is where everything
Fell with a whack!
I know it was good
Though it may not be right
�Cause now I can learn
From the things of that night.
The past is important
Don�t ever forget
Remembrance is precious
Never ever regret
