Far too long...

Long time gone
Long time here
Not far away
I'm far too near
Take me home
Take me away
Let me laugh
Please let me stay
Hold me tight
Take my hand
Long time that
Nobody could understand
Cant feel my heart
Cant sink that low
It must have vanished
Long ago
Salty fumes
Pour out of my soul
Ashy, empty chest:
A hole
Broken here
Broken there
Tears that fall
Onto tangled hair
Take your hand
And comb it through
Please let me stay
Here with you
Long time gone
Longest street
That cracks and burns
Beneath my feet
Trip and stumble
On solid ground
Look at me falling
Look what you've found
Should I wish
Should I pray
The heavens dont listen
To a word I say
they left me alone
they left us blind
How could they
Be so unkind
They took their light
Like a bulb gone out
Like a spark of hope
You came about
Far too long
i've been treated
Far too wrong
I've been cheated
Take me away
Take me there
Let me see your heart
Will you share?
Long time gone
Long time here
Far too close
Far too near
My broken heart
Is a book
Stained with tears
Its pages stuck
Locked with secrets
Closed with pain
And there's your heart
Once again.
Take my share
Take it all
And watch me fail
As you watch me fall.
