Dispossessed

Half a world away I waited, silent

You'd kept me hanging on while I knew I needed distance

You finally threw me down, no promise anymore

Our words of love, delusions fell apart, copulating on the floor

And summer came and destroyed any other words

Now I can never call that lust by any other name

And you could tell those lies only while spring's blossoms grew

So I left my door open wide for something new

Now I fly through summer's air solely dispossessed

I feel the wind between my legs where once your hand caressed

Now thanks to slowly severed bonds I've risen to my knees and summer --

Summer came, days grew long

Everything you told me was wrong

For you knew all along

What you'd do to me

And in the spring you said those words

You said them, how you cried them

You said those words -- FOREVER -- you said them but you lied them

How can I stand at the crossroads without doubt?

How can I move forward, trusting now, without desire?

How will autumn fall between, inside our jaded hearts?

How can I touch without igniting fatal fire?

And she said "Stop looking to the heavens for omens, for love:

The answer lies within and it's always 'NO'

No more lies, no more hope"

(Summer burnt our reason)

But you were so, so full of promise

Or was that just PROMISCUITY?

And summer fades.
