i'm so sick and tired
of only being inspired
by late night desires
that i only acquire
by starting a fire
in my mind like a liar
reconnecting the wires
of pain and depression
to find words i'll admire
but it's really not in me
i'm really not that deep
i only think of a sentence
when i'm alone
and on no sleep
and yea i've got sentiments
they're real here inside me
but i can't write about love
when i can't even hold you
and only gaze in your eyes
in a photograph of you
and i'm so sick and tired
of my late night desires
to become inspired
and write words they'll admire
cuz it's really not in me
i've been feeling good lately
so i need you to know
before i am through
what all of my words
should not mean to you
i'm not really that lonely
or depressed all damn day
in fact i'm feeling quite good
in some strange little way
i'll no longer search for words
just to have something to say
even though i do miss you
at the end of the day
my eyes are wide open
i'm not frozen in time
i'm not walking to florida
i ain't quite lost my mind
my memory is okay
it's not jammed on rewind
i think of you reading my words
and crying out loud
and that's not fair to you
that won't make you proud
so know that i'm happy
and i'm making my way
and ignore all my words
i have nothing to say
except that i love you
a little more everyday
i smile when i think about you
and i'm doing okay
and that's all that should really matter
to you...

Yes this is very touching. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,

Without the experiance of love where would we be? We would have no memories to cherish.
With love it brings hurt with hurt bittersweet memories.

So full of emotions here. Your heart is docked my friend and it is very apparent where.......I also do not know the story but follow your heart......if it says to call her, then please listen. Funny in this place how start to feel such concern and friendship for people you have never met. But through your words I feel like your a friend and I hope everything works out for you and your family. That, is from my heart to yours.

Sometimes you have what you need and can not be near it. The words you speak are true and you do feel them, It does not mean that you are not happy with what you have and the words you write are not written to hurt anyone but to wake yourself up to what you have.  I have been there and feel that.
Glad you rang her and all is well.
