Clouds

I've been a little preoccupied lately and my writing has fallen by the wayside but seeing as I've had an unexpected free Sunday afternoon, I've managed to pick up where I left off and have started writing chapter seven of my children's book, secretively titled TBOWD!!!

I also made the mistake of opening and reading Airtight today. It's half-written and I shelved it last autumn to write TBOWD... Very big mistake!! I now want to pick up where I left off and finish it! Argh!!! I need to ditch my day job! There are not enough hours in the day! :)

I'm playing Marc and the Mambas 'Torment and Toreros' album as I write. There are some very beautiful songs on there but none more so that Your Love Is A Lesion, which is slightly disturbing seeing as it's about domestic abuse but as I'm feeling a little dark today, here are the lyrics.

My hands tied behind my back
You forced me to love you
Down on my knees I lied
My real self stays locked safe from you

My ears always ringing
And the tears always brimming
It's so hard to keep you at bay
Maybe I won't bother today

Blood smeared across my mouth
This love leaves me lost without you
But when will we tire of disease and desire
And I'll turn around and I'll destroy you

But your love leave a lesion
And it gives me a reason
It's so hard to keep you at bay
Maybe I won't bother today

The touch of the bruises
The pain that amuses
My hand always shielding my eyes
My hand always shielding my eyes

And here is the song...
