Just for Once

by LadyPearl   Apr 24, 2006


Too long I dwelled
In my misery
If I set the limits
Then I'll live joyously

If I don't touch
Maybe just for once
I won't be hurt
Just this once

If I close my eyes
Maybe I'll forget
The things of past
That I regret

If I sleep away
Maybe dreams will rise
And set me free
from the criticize

And just for once
I could start to feel
The soothing touch
As my heart begins to heal

If I hold my breath
Maybe I will die
And live in a fantasy
And say goodbye

But just for once
Will you let me breath
And Leave me alone
And just let me be

Star-crossed babe
That was me
Borne as an omen
Too harsh to believe

If I dive into water
Will it give me a kiss
If I swim in the ocean
Will I finally find bliss

Oh God, how I long
To feel joy at last
Won't you take me
Away from my past

Just for once...
Can I live freely
Hidden from pain
And just...be happy?

    I think there is puntuation needed in places and some parts didnt make sense. The title was a wow factor and the start a slight let down. But it picked up nicely towards the end. I love the colourful language you use has a kind of fantastical feel to it. Nice stuff...
