Breathe

I did so much for you.
Not because I had to.
Because I wanted to.
Desire brought us together.
My hope to stay with you forever.
So now that I am with you
why so many empty days?
So now that I am with you
why do I feel like I'm
begging you to stay.
So now that I am with you
why do you feel so far away?
How can this work
when love hurts?
So much wisdom and poetry
can come to us through
the words of a song.
I find myself totally
in agreement as I sing
along.

"When love hurts.
It won't work.
Sometimes you need
some time alone to
Breathe."

Yes, alone time...does a soul good. Especially a soul aching from love, or lack there of. Enjoyed. Chris

that perches in the soul....
