Words always came easy to meI could describe a sunsetOr a child's smileEven the hardships of lifeAlong each mileFeelings of loveOr so I believedHidden withinEasily retrievedAnd then I met YOUYOU who showed me What love really isYOU who my lifeI'd gladly giveEach day it grows deeperI've no self controlYour love and your laughterDear heart,make me wholeSo why do I have these feelings of dread?And why are these thoughts in my head?Perhaps it's because I'm scared of the painI vowed to myself.....never againI closed myself off,tuned myself outInside my head a voice would shoutKeep to yourselfDon't let anyone inCause you know what happens When you beginTo open your heartAnd let someone inJust a matter of time...The pain will beginIt'll throb deep inside youIt will consume your soulNever againWill you be wholeThese feelings and thoughtsWhat do I do?The answer was simple...And then I met YOUSo now here I amExposed to the coreI've given my heartAnd just like beforeThe pain has startedIt comes from withinI started the momentI let YOU inTo the deepest cornersOf my heartAnd now that you're thereYou're alwaypartI can't let YOU goMyself I can't saveSo I'll put on a smileAnd try to be brave I will not cryThough I may bleedI guess this is what happensWhen want turns to need Written October 10th, 2001 © on Oct 10 2001 02:00 PM PST   0 • 1
