"The Long Walk"   6 - 4 - 03



you know i hold a hate for you

this contentment reigns

for all the things i could do

but never did, it pains

but now i free myself of you

tossing out your remains



i have begun the long walk home

the place i was led astray

i curse the point i left myself alone

that day, far away, only yesterday

i disconnect the phone

blocking out that day in may



the sting of your voice on my mind

like a bitter platter or plate

it has stayed with me all this time

the pain is so damn great

but relief comes with this rhyme

i wash myself of this weight



i have begun the long walk home

to the place i was led astray

i curse the point i left myself alone

that day, far away, only yesterday

i find myself laying prone

drained of the thoughts of that day



i have these images of you

silhouettes of hurt

outlines of a person thought true

i cover them with dirt

for all the pain you put me through

i will cleanse this heart



i have begun the long walk home

the place i was led astray

i curse the point i left myself alone

that day, far away, only yesterday

and now i ask myself, "Am I Home?"

and as i cry the pain fades away...
