Is this it
Is this how it is to be
Both of us ignoring our need
Friends rings with an empty tone
It echoes with the pain of being still alone
Your hand I’ve held
Your lips I have kissed
All of these things again am I to miss
You say you are lost
Have nothing to give
Even claim you have no reason to live
Your pain I can hold
And strength I can lend
But in your mind you will not bend

I am not always lonely even if I am always alone

this was a nice tight read..well done.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

You give your all to someone else, but them taking it is another story...some people just don't want to change, some just don't want to love.

No this is not it. It will change, for better or for worse and life will continue somehow. Well written !

I like the style

Life has got to chnage,
Nothing stays the same,
Soon it will be time,
For me to move on.

raleighbttrfly,

Well said. It isn't easy to acceot, but you cannot make them want the same things you do. If they do not see, perhaps it is their loss. Hope the writing helps.
