Restive Thoughts

I left my necklace in your car...
You held me tight when we said goodbye...

You probably don't remember back that far...
Sometimes it seems uncomfortably near by...

At the wrong place in the wrong time
In another world, what could have been...

A silent victim of your own choosing...
Thoughts always kept quietly within.

You never asked what was on your mind...
And for your best, I quietly slipped away...

And just as quick as it began..
Seam by scene I watched it all defray.

I'm in another place, another time...
Yet, these restive thoughts I still remember....

Times like these I wonder now...
If you still think...of that...November.

Dusting Off The Pages

The girl you no longer think about...

Is writing you this letter...

Perhaps someday you'll read it...

But, that won't make it better.

The girl you no longer think about...

Is thinking about you today.

And how you made a fool of her...

Believing everything you'd say.

Was she just a casualty in your war?

Was your victory, worth her blood?

Cause she bled for you for days...

Till the grounds began to flood.

Wasn't she too young for your kind?

At least you don't discriminate...

Cold and hard...

Like what you sleep on...

Criminal...

Like the man you hate...

You did something that changed her...

The girl who's name you don't remember...

She thinks things differently now...

That fires turned to cinder.

The girl you no longer think about...

Hopes your better than you were to her...

That her destruction did something for you...

That now...

You aren't...

The man you were.


Ashes to ashes...

Dust to Dust

She's buried her enmity

In a Hutch with your name.

Tragic really...

That you couldn't see further...

To you, she was only...

Ever...

A game.
