There you go …again. Slamming the door in my disgrace. It was worth it though. This ebb and flow, is the only way to catch a glimpse of the girl I know. The girl that slips out to me, sometimes, In the wee hours of the moonlight, when the rocks …run low. Leaving the fiends behind. Clutching her stem. My lighter, in her other-hand. …and Sometimes, through the cacophony, I see the spark of the girl u oughta be. But as it goes, it always goes. A fight gains purchase, and… Grows, as the rocks run low. But …for a moment… For a moment, Doll, You’re mine. …until the storm arrives. Thunder rollin’ in, and then, like lightning! You’re attackin’. Hammering. I’m takin’ it, on the chin. Acceptin’ it, apologizin’. Until I’ve had enough, of …you …Attacking over nothing. And, When it won’t stop, I stand up to you. My truth stands up too! And with it, what you’ve done, Doll… And, as it goes when the truth gets loose, You give up, and, Run-a-way, It’s hap-pen-ing …again! It happens every day! And I rage, and I rage, and I rage. And I rage. And I rage. I rage! …I rage with the love I can’t contain!!!!!!! One day I wish you’d find the grace. Your courage and speak your truth, to my face. And stay… And stay …Doll… and stay Stay. …don’t run a…way… Set your truth free … Stay right here …with me, Caressing the tiny hairs at your neck’s nape. [tender cello instrumental] You remember me now, Doll. I’m the love that stays. (Will it be enough?) I saw the wreck before I saw the train. It wrecks …every single day! …And it don’t mean nothin’! I’m the love that stays. (Hope it’s enough) Mmmmm… It’s everything I’ve got! So, I’m Hard-Leanin’ in! My passion glowing through my lilac skin! That’s how hard I rage! That’s why I rage! And I rage. And I rage! And I rage. And I rage with all the love I can’t contain!!! For you, Doll! Never at you. For you. And it’s just loud noise. Pain without poise. Hope minus chance. Passion lashing …circumstance. My thunder, your lightning. Overwhelming …frightening. …Doll It’s not …your fault. I know you’re hurt badly. Me too. I forgive you for the things You were too proud to say… Can you forgive me, Doll? I’m the one with the love that stays. Can I stay too? Can you forgive the things I do …when I have to? Can you forgive the things I say …when I rage? Stay… …can I stay too?
