Shyann Court

I wander aimlessly
Looking for an escape
I run to you
But you just push me away
...

What is it that you feel
When you push me 'round
Does it make you feel better
Knowing you have control
...

She's sitting in the rocking chair
With her eyes on the door
With every creak across the floor
She thinks it's you coming home
...

so much depends
upon
struggling dreams
...

Last night a wish came to me
I didn’t ask for money
Or a thousand dollar car
I asked for a life
...

I tried to sleep last nite
But i heard the hollow sound of a gun shot
I tried to scream
But the ducktape held my mouth shut
...

I use to sit by the phone
Day after day waiting for that call
But now im running around
'Going to work'
...

Here i am lying on the bathroom floor
I stare at the door
Wonderin when you'll be home to see me
In my drunken state,
...

I was 17 and you were 21
By that point, my life had come undone
I was searching for a realization
But all i seemed to dig up was regrets
...

The wind softly whispers
Telling me what i want to hear
We'll be together forever
Though i know it's not true
...

I can't let you go
You're my heart and soul
Like a whisper on my lips
I gave you the slip
...
