Your Voice

So..going through my archive as I build the new website. Found this from 2003, about the first time I fell in love, only for her to bugger off to Australia. Quality is poor but I was only 22!

YOUR VOICE

(P.C & I)

 

Like a wave from the depth emotion washes over me

It rips through the heart of me and implodes my soul

Poison circulates in place of blood and I am left paralysed

Like a soldier’s mother I feed on distant news

It is like my life is on hold and I am waiting to breathe again

Clouds of unreason cover sanity and the rain starts to fall

 

Like a knife ever twisting in my mind when I think of you

It stabs at reason when I think why we are apart

Blood red tears burn down my cheeks to a river at my feet

Like an earthquake I shake when I reach for you only to grab thin air

It shakes and brings me to my knees every time I turn to talk to you

Space is all around me where once your love surrounded

 

When your voice on the phone rips through the heart of me

When your love I reached towards for so long but only touched so brief

When your voice on the phone engulfs my body and crushes my whole being

When you love dangles before my ears but is so far out of sight

When your voice on the phone reminds me that love is once again out of my reach

 

Like a torture victim I wonder how long I can bear this agony

It is like a river of loneliness running from my eyes

Corrosion and erosion eating away at my heart

Like a lamb to the slaughter I drifted into your love

It is unproven and unsafe and so very far away

Precious seconds and golden minutes drift in the breeze

 

Like an infinite depth of sorrow forced to echo for eternity

It screams and cries for the distance to ease

Pain will run riot until you’re back in my arms

Like an addict I crave to hold you once more

It is a dangerous love but you are all I have longed for

Now your love has gone and just teases me on the line

 

When your voice on the phone rips through the heart of me

When your love I reached towards for so long but only touched so brief

When your voice on the phone engulfs my body and crushes my whole being

When you love dangles before my ears but is so far out of sight

When your voice on the phone reminds me that love is once again out of my reach

i am so sorry for what this woman did to you :(

love is a really messy business, and I know I'm only 18, but I still understand because I've seen it happen. The emotionality here is so...uggh, how do I say it...evident and it makes me feel like how you felt. I just love the entire thing, it's so wonderful. Good job, Mark from 11 years ago lol :D
