Make My Lonley Desert Bloom Again
A rewrite.
It's been a long cold dark lonely winter
Since you went away
I live in limbo
And torture myself every single day
The sun used to shine my way
But now turns the other way
A shadow of my former self
Maniculed and chained to your heart
Left on a dust covered shelf
I sit on the top of the stairs in my mind
Staring down
To the floor
Thinking where I had been before
After you shut the door
Punches to the heart
Stab in the back
Sank in quicksand
And never got out
A cat in a sack
Since you left me wounded
The garden we planted together
Is no more
The ocean had stopped
Rolling to my shore
Now a barren desert where nothing grows
No scented flowers or cherry blossom
No lush bejewelled green meadow
Where we used to make love
Under a shady tree
I gave to you
And you gave to me
The pages of time have faded
Have been turned over so many times
By boisterous rebelling gusts of wind
But still etched in my
And enraged upon the tablet of my heart
Now you are back again
My winter has gone
And now the sun shines once more
You undid my shackles
And unlocked the door
I Never hated you
I could never do
As I know all your secrets
How you were mistreated
Tormented and abused
But now you are back again
To see your beautiful face once more
Is like seeing the sun again
After that cold dark lonely winter
To hold you again in my arms
My troubles disappear
But now you are here my precious friend
Make my lonely Barren desert
Bloom once again.
