OLD WOUNDS

Old wounds 

Colors on my skin and the names you called me  
Stayed buried deep within . 
Walk all over me like I'm not there  
Throw me down the stairs like you don't even care . 
It was only a lifetime that we shared now I'm old with gray hair , 
I'm so over it I swear ,The pains and the cut's that you gave  
Is like being in a heart wave of a hurricane .  
The knowledge of time came to me so fast . 
I looked at us and I had to fuss of what is love and why didn't it last. 
All I have now is the pains of flash backs , 
I'll just ignore your existence and the drama of heartaches you gave, 
So any future memories let's not share I walked out with out a care , 
I don't want to know who was Right and who was wrong ,I don't care  
Who will wine this time just get out of my mind .  
These thoughts would keep me up all night as I would cry out so much 
Pain like pouring rain , asking God to take this pain . 
This battle is far too hard for me to fight So please Jehovah make this  
Sad memory's take a flight right out of my life , and let me get on with life. 
Whenever I see  your faces I try so hard to look the other way , 
I look around to watch my back at all times ,If I was to fall Jehovah God will 
Pick me back up because he has all my love , 
My faith is running deep , and my love for thee is strong to keep me moving along . 
Peoples talk and look down on me , words of the nights gave me a fright , 
I would hear It in my head your voice coming back again . 
You can see it in my face I am running in corals a gain , 
Where do I start and where does it all end another time in the old world wind  . 
I'm falling further and further into outer space with no hope of escape , 
I see that look upon your face .  
My philosophy opens doors that I can't close  
We are only flesh bones and souls  
We are fragile so how many times can we stand after we fall ? 
Oh Jehovah take it all you have my heart from the very start .
