She bad dreamin … she must be
life can’t be so bad
she’s cryin everyday and getting thinner
I think she could lose it
and not think her life worth the pain anymore.
What is it that love unbinds in us
that only love can fix again…
She’s unraveling…her cheekbones and fingers
bear witness to it
her love has flown away
and now there’s nothing but the days
she waits for my return
and she won’t let it end
she tears her heart out again and again
to pass each aching day
and when I hold her and feel the pain
nothing eases…nothing goes away
she tries so hard not to say it
she tries to accept it my way
but she can’t stand it
and she drives me farther away
I can keep Danny and become celibate
but I can’t give my life away to the old ‘us’
its mine, but she can’t deal with it that way
her pain cuts deeper day by day
I feel it…Danny feels it
Rose’s heart is breaking…
what can I say… what can I say….
