Here In My Room I won’t talk to you from this alcohol haze But I’ll talk to you here in my own room I wondered about giving up control I wondered about being myself You said it was safe You agreed that if you didn’t like what you saw You may as well know it was me. Well, it’s me babe Here in my own room Trusting you Not trusting---that what I’ve shown you is worth keeping You’ve got someone Right in front of you Talking, god knows what. How come, I’ve wanted to get to know you Yet you’ve only been concerned with How I felt about you How she felt about you How much have you told either of us-------what you felt? Go ahead…get pissed I got nothing to lose Here in my room Talking to you Where you can’t hear Me saying to you I love you I will die if I don’t have you----- Only here in my room. Will you ever hear this. |

the hurt and pain of this brings tears to my eyes. An emotional writing. And in writing we find freedom. Hugs, Kellie "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. Socrates |

JLR~ this was truly a very honest poem..the pain speaks volumes in this...but it is good that you are writing through it. as a wise poet is always telling me...by writing it, we live through it... and with that comes healing. hope things start to look up for you soon. take care amy "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart & can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." |

Do we ever know the unsaid or what is heard can we ever hope to reach a moment of simple pure honesty exacts its own toll more than giving to open the all and it be missed our soliloqy improvied or reahearsed the effect trough fog is always the same And yet we ponder If I had said it differently it would have made no difference "From the moment I reached out to Hold, I felt a song" J Anderson |

Lady----Wish I could find the lighter side again Jelly----Porbably the only place I don't lie is here Sven----And aren't we glad no one else can hear it...unless, of course, we choose to betray our own privacy for the sake of the word. Amy----Thank you for rebreaking the ice. When you're flat on your back, there's nowhere to look but up (or so they tell me---Ha! I just keep rolling over). AT----You enhance me. Thank you for the Time! |
