On A Journey To The Unknown

0 posted 2001-11-16 01:41 AM


Everything you took for granted about me
Even the fact that I opened up my heart to you
I had never really trusted anyone else before
Not until that day, the day when I met you

After all that I have done you don't have a clue
As to how much love I felt for you inside of me
You have always been too busy with others
To even see how much love I tried to give so free

So many times I sat, waiting for you to come home
Just to watch as you passed on by to go up the road
Inside my heart, it always did hurt way too much
To see you go on by, how could you be so bold

Now, I feel so torn up inside my heart you see
Cause I know that my love for you was so strong
But, I know now that you didn't feel the same
I just don't know how my love could be so wrong

Maybe I should have told you to go away
Instead of opening the door to my heart to you
Now I am stuck with all of these emotions
And I am just not sure, what I should do

I do know, that I will never ever allow myself
To ever get so close to anyone else ever again
So they can hurt me, the way you always did
Because I do not think my heart will ever mend

"Maybe I should have told you to go away."
If only we had the strength to say go away at just the right moment...but we want to hope...James

You've captured such a tender sorrow within this piece Sue ... a lovely and heartening expression, very nicely written.  

Best wishes,
