Sheltered Places

Death and love in sheltered places,
hearts entwined still or racing.
Remembered things, long dead and gone,
words so empty, end this song.

Inwardly dying. Oh God, and the crying
rivers of pain, drive me insane.

The pills on the table
I'm reading the label
fortelling my fate.
The calendar screaming the date.

Never, ever together
no chance of love lasting forever.

Our journey complete, just a heartbeat away,
to the second, minute, hour and day.
Closing my eyes all that I see
is you, sadly smiling at me.
