Back and Forth

light is gone, light is gone
take from me the darkness please
I have not the will for sight
senses for my mind displease

can this be just all the same
haven't I just learned a thing
back and forth and back again
tugging at my soul within

wrenching twisting turning guts
in within my stomach writhes
sickness of the love i've lost
cut right down with natures sythes

pride, no pride have I got none
for to me the pride was her
she has broken all my song
and the life is thin as air

do you want to come for tea
can i cook you one more meal
'text me back' the piece of string
that tugs at me so hard a deal

do you want me, do you not
I keep saying, her to hear
or my soul is back and forth
she's not listening with her ear

with her heart what is she doing
does she do this to me why
i have not the pain to take
send me back and forth to cry

back and forth and back and forth
tugging at my very soul
like a bird trapped in a cage
eyes turned black as black as coals
