Time to Catch a Train
Always blowin
Back and forth
I’m just a crazy weathervane
It ain’t no mystery
That I’m the one to blame
I’d love to hang around
And help to
Cool your pain
But I can’t take
Another day
It’s time to catch a train
You gave more
Than I deserve
I poured it down a drain
Good thing I always
Had the sense
To know that I’m insane
by Richard W. Bray
How do I Say?
How do I say when it’s over
I meant every word that I said
When the world we knew is dissolving
And the love we shared is dead?
How do I tell you it matters
The joy you brought to my life
When the dreams that we shared are all shattered
And you’ll never be my wife?
How can I tell you I’ll miss you
Every day for as long as I live
When the well that we drank from is empty
And nothing is left to give?
I don’t blame you if you hate me
Cuz’ right now I hate me too
I hate the whole damn world
For what I did to you
I just want to see you happy
But there ain’t nuthin’ I can do
Neither one of us will be happy
Till we get past me and you
Someday when you’re not lonely
Cuz’ you’ve found a better man
I just hope you will remember
When my heart was in your hands
by Richard W. Bray
Condemned
Can I hurt you
And not hurt me?
Now it makes me sad
While you’re full of glee
But if an hour ago
You were bleeding from a barb
I carelessly injected
Years ago
Or maliciously flung
Yesterday
Am I bleeding for you
Now
Or tearing at my own scabs
Because I wish to feel?
If there’s no metaphysical connection
And nothing transcends
Is psychic pain just self pity?
Condemned to four dimensions
And the confines of my skin
Never able
To let anybody in
