Coming home to you
Waiting for my arrival
Used to be something special
I didn't have to wish for
It seems that I was pushing you
Out the door ever since we met
Now its a reality
And I'm wasting time
Acceptance just a wee dream
As I see a faded photograph
A birthday card, a pair of earrings
Yet no matter how much I clean
Can't extract you from my mind.

Miss you terribly
And there's nothing I can do
To make you change the ending
Way of the universe
The curse of being ungrateful
For a love unconditional
Which we had, now gone
God damn, so sad

For I want genuine harmony
Healing hearts pray for salvation
Before we descend into oblivion
Practice what I preach as
I continually grieve for you
That is beyond reach.

I can't be bitter
Refuse to quit
On ever finding a human connection
Love for me to share
Nurture, yet aware
That I was forever holding back
Teasing with brief glimpses
Scared of giving this soul
Then realizing that's why
You left me here alone...
