There's no place for me to go
I am you
and you are my life
I drown my sorrows in you
I succumb to my pain
My smiles are gone
is time to feel my pain
I must grow up
and face my fears
but instead
I cry with you
and we drink
the beauty of love
and we give it life
painfully
Yearning again
for the moment
when tormented by my own doings
I will seek you
and you will embrace me
and I will fall for you
Not knowing where my heart is
not knowing where my soul is
lost in myself
like water in the sand
Desperately trying to put
pieces of me together
to make sense of this senseless self
my words and I

...lost in myself, like water in the sand...

What an exceptional and brilliant portrayal.

Awesome write. Enjoyed. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

walker - your words make sense in this writing, though sad ones they are...
