Sabbatical

SABBATICAL - Written by Carroll Bryant

Here I am once again

Missing yet another friend

All alone and way too soon

Screaming at another moon

Red blood eyes are haunting me

Spirits of the night be free

Moving slow to move so fast

Leaving it in the past

Kidnapped from her piracy

Killing ghosts of jealousy

Fever burns all through the night

Demons left for me to fight

Poison running through my veins

Eruption of volcanic pain

Voices that are telling me

Love is lovers only greed

Chances taken here and there

Shadows follow everywhere

Day or night I can’t break loose

Your grip, I slip, comes the noose

Power trips and fateful lies

Idle talk and compromise

All of it just can’t be true

You to me and me to you

Your sword of words cutting deep

Blades that slice and make me bleed

My revenge, retaliate

Close the door to heaven’s gate

Here I am once again

Missing yet nobody’s friend

Drowning in her sweet monsoon

Screaming at another moon

Here I am and I pretend

What we did start will never end

What broke my heart will never mend

Missing yet another friend
