A WOMAN ALONE
I lie in my wait waiting for you
thoughts big and small
all come of you
to retrace my steps
as I lived without you
in hopes of you
without you
but now my mind
doesn't even think of me
as I live in my desires
in my desires
in my hopes
in my longings
in my hoping of you
will you ever come
I wonder why
to cut me off from your chains
in your chains as I lie
tied to myself I wonder why
come and cut off my chains
as you have chained me for life
in shackles which I never had
chained to my life
which I now break
forever free
I now fly
I never wanted to belong
that was my tryst with life
but I now lie clipped
clipped
my wings clipped
for life
tie me to a stake and burn me up
my desires of you ... in flames go up
burn me up in my fear
of my desires for you
as I go thinking of you
in my desires of you
thinking of you
to fly with me
as you burn with me
in my desires of you
as they burn with me
take me to another world
where you and I will live thinking of you
with no desire left thinking of you
of my own
I never ever want to attempt
to fly again away from myself
waiting for you to take me away from
myself
thinking of you in my thoughts of me alone
I have now learnt to fly alone
alone faraway as I fly
to a land I seek
where everyone desires but we all live alone
