I know the road I'm running down
Leads to heartache;
Why do I continue?
It's clear that I'll just get hurt;
Why don't I turn around?
You'll only break my heart,
But I need you so much.
You were the one
Who lifted my soul out of despair.
Every moment whispers your name;
I need you here beside me.
You say you don't,
Yet I still desire your love.
This road leads to pain;
Why can't I see?
I am blinded by love;
You are no longer
The man I once fell for.
Being with you will only
Bring me more hurt;
What keeps me going
Down the path to you?
Where is the pride
That once kept me
From all of this?
When you stole my heart,
Did you take my dignity as well?
This road I travel
Leads to heartache,
Yet I continue down the path.

-kh '96


I won't go; I won't sleep; I can't breathe until you're resting here with me...

I can relate to this SOOO well. You describe everything perfectly. I just hope that things turn out ok for you. Thanks for sharing.

We continue down the path because we must SP...the alternative means being alone, not really the way we humans are.  One day the path will shine though, and the end will be that fabled pot of gold.  It does come...one day. You laid out your heartache so well here ...

Kethry:  thank you for the hugs!  this was an old one, but, unfortunately, can still apply.  glad you could stop by!  

LoveBug:  thanks!  your kind words mean a lot to me!  glad you liked it!  (not glad you can relate, though)  

jwesley:  well, thank you, my friend, for the light of hope, which has been so lacking lately.  and, I agree completely.  don't do that 'alone' thing too well, ya know.  thanks!!
