Side

She can't imagine how she has lasted for this long

Living on the side this way

Living on the edge this way

Teetering constantly

Ready to self destruct

She can't imagine why she's not the one

The one he clings to

In the sun?

She has bathed in the dark of his nights

Gazed in the eyes of a god

She has held herself away

With intolerable pain - But now she's

Ready to just let go

And sorrow plagues her heart

Never good enough

And darkness fills her soul

Never quite enough

And solace is almost a help

But she still thinks

Wondering

Wandering

Through a labyrinth of hurt

In search of a clue

Seeking a cure

She cries inside now

Seperating her love and his lust

And the chain twists about her hands

Tears grip her throat

There is nothing to be said

Deafening silence is all the answer she needs

In the roar of her head

The racing of her pulse

Is

The cure

Release him...
