Oh, my darling, I
I'm sorry that you had to lie
You were long gone
before you were even mine
Bitterness remains
A taste that comes with all your blame
You became my vice
Not shy though bitten more than twice
Take my hand and run
A length with me that I began to go
I knew that you were afraid
to face the things that you've betrayed
and I have lost the fight
Darling, Why did I
So easily believe your lies?
Was it not enough?
to try to give you all my love
Gave myself too fast
Not knowing this would never last
Resisting less and less
you took back all your promises
Take my hand and run
a length with me that I began to go
I knew that you were afraid
to face the things that you've betrayed
But I've lost this fight

This is the first time in years I have written something so personal and emotional. I am nervous about sharing it but I am also pleased I have something significant to upload and I hope you all enjoy it somehow.
Thank you for listening. It means a lot.

Thank you dear... I always appreciate your comments and taking time to listen to what I create. I really do. It has unfortunately come from somewhere very hopeless and dark, but it at least allowed me to do what I miss doing... music. Being. Creating emotions. Sharing the pain so I can heal, as well. Maybe my music will touch other people going through what I am going through and that might be a comfort. That's how I think of it... since that's how I see music and how I feel about it.
That's why you create such beautiful music. There is emotion behind it. Every art form is nothing without emotion. This is why "vent" art is always a good thing. You're an amazingly talented woman and I wish nothing but the best for you always Birthday Buddy.
If you ever need to talk or just wanna chat, as always hit me up on Skype.

Thank you... it was difficult to find the words, they don't quite explain everything but I think they say what I wanted to say with the song. I am glad you think it's beautifully done, I really poured my heart into all of it. I am very pleased with how I got it to work but being an "artist" I am still critical of my voice. I know that at a point I just have to let it go though and move onto the next endeavour.
Thanks for listening and for always wanting the best for me. I know I am a bit aloof most of the time but I do really appreciate the support.

Why do I feel this was the case with you, dear LilyPad? Such a coward, to awaken your love without the intention of loving you... Hope this song brings you some peace, it is hauntingly beautiful, and a present reminder of the strength and authenticity of your voice =^.^=

What a great quote... I like that. It's very applicable here.
Yes... the relationship was very complicated... he made a lot of huge promises, messed me around a few times... damaged the trust between us a lot and expected me to take his word each time. In the end he's utterly broken my heart and I am stuck here, trapped by my own feelings and completely at the mercy of all his decisions (as I had been the whole time too). There's a lot of darker and more sinister elements to the last 6 months which I'm struggling with now. I think in a strange and tragic way he does love me, but he is ruled by the fear of changing his life in a big way (he's older than me, in a broken relationship, has a mortgage etc) so in the end we're both suffering.
This song came out of nowhere, after years of not really being able to write personal songs... so I grabbed onto it and saw it through. It took me a few days to tweak, a lot of love went into it (ironically) and I am actually really happy with how it turned out. I definitely used it as self-soothing therapy and it distracted me a bit from the pain I am feeling. I hope maybe it touches people in some way, at least in the way I have chosen how to execute it. Of course I can criticise it until the cows come home XD But I had to leave it at a point.

There is a bit of truth in the saying, that to a degree pain and misery produce some of the most impressive art.
You have my greatest respect for being able to choose to unburden yourself in this way to the public - it takes a lot of strength. Still, I'm glad you did decide that way, and I hope it helped and helps you deal with your past a bit better.
As for the work itself, I'd say it's positively sparse in instrumentation, and as always the layered vocals are really good.
Normally I'd go something like "MOAR PLZ" after hearing something like that, but since that would be quite inappropriate in this case (I feel), I'm just going to say - keep up the good work!

Please don't ever be nervous about posting something like this. You have amazing talents to share with people, and you are as much a deep and complex person as anyone else with thoughts and feelings to get out. Even if this song conveys feelings that are hard to bear, it's still beautifully done.
