Shrinking violet you left me waiting
This year I have felt the pain
I can’t find you
I keep screaming your unknown name
Everything has left me alright
All by myself with nothing left to keep in my hand
I want to hold on to the last violet I held on to
The last thing I heard it say was let me live my life let me go away
I need to take some of my time to think all this through
Maybe I need to take a holiday too

No time for hope I need to find my life
I have noting left to say
This is my last stand please believe in me
I’ve learned something today
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
It means everything to me
The advice I needed before I lost my pulse

The empty sun light is gone
Its night with nothing left
The fogs coming and I have no one here
Am I alone or am I still waiting for you?
Breaking down I have found out why you’re lost in me
Was it all a lie that I had to find out?
Why couldn’t you just tell me that the first day?
The empty feeling I had is now in rent
Jimmy had the gun and a bullet for my head
Was he out of his mind?
It ended my punishment

I like the "shrinking violet" metaphor for your gal.  Keep plugging away on this...you have something here.  Good job gd!

Some times you can say too much.  I like the poem ending with:

"Maybe I need to take a holiday too"

Save the rest for another page.   Just a thought.   WT>

The answer is always NO, Until the question is asked.
