WILD HORSE

I'm the land of sweetness and honey
Paved with stones and Moroccan sand
On a lone dark night when you are scared
It's a dungeon trying to make peace
Funny how I'm not peaceful

I have no desire to see you
I'm mad like a wild horse--that's probably what made you so mad
Maybe I was cruel maybe I was un-respectful
And I don't know why
You didn't see me as a rage filled person
I seemed to keep it down beneath my skin

I tried to treat you like a friend like a lover like a member of my family
You seemed too much like a redeemer to be anything other than
You were grande and larger than life with soft hands like lotion
You treated me with nothing but love and kisses
and still I pushed you away

Perhaps I am cowardly and foolish and selfish
Preferring to be alone and miserable
Even a little self-conscious I don't know I'm not sure really

Now I'm no longer mad but I'm still wild
