....DUSTED....

come and go at will
just take what you see
after all nothing is ever really mine
i left it all out there for you
without any reserve
without any care
so this is how it ends
me
just wandering empty
in a corridor of smoke and mirrors
alone this time i fear
til the end
i just wanted normalcy
just wanted that love that so many share
i wished upon your star
and then you came to me
but then you saw what i was
and flew so far away
back to where you came from
and left my heart
dusted
i wonder if i will ever stop crying
every day blurs into the next
every hour seems like an eternity
without you near
i pray and pray for the lord to take
i pray and pray that i might wake
my future seems so dark now
a grey canvass of swirling feelings so stark
can you ever find your way back to me
is it so wrong that you are all i desire
if so
then why is it said that it's no good
for man to be alone
some cosmic joke
at my expense
is this some punishment that I am to atone
i told myself i would be strong
i promised i wouldn't look back
i said so many things to try to appear brave
for you
for me
for HIM
but in the cold hard truth of reality
i am just a man alone
with my pain
with my heart blown apart
leaving me
dusted
