They say to work it out and if I really wanted it, It would happen because I'd make it Force it, coax it, stomp on its heat until it surrendered, I just don't share it That view that things work out one sided If the one just sweats and cries a little more. I just don't believe it And maybe I'm less of a person for it Or just not strong enough to hold up my end of the bargain anymore Often lately been on the edge of out the door No forwarding address take only what I need So what is it that I want or feel I need Been asked that, been quizzed into the darktime hours Until sleep deprivation and emotion Received the best of two very good friends. Must I know at this age what I need? When there are others out there older Who still don't know it yet? And how long do we have to seek ourselves out? Before we believe in love again? Never thought I'd be here In this oblivion of doubt and beginnings of giving up, But here I am because after being so long lonely with my lack of tears, And now they flow, but I'm answering questions, I don't have the courage to tell even my closest friends right now, And they don't have to know, do they? Shouldn't they just be there standing by? A good friend once said not to feel obligated To here pour out my soul, But it is in this I find my solace, Because there is no physical place in the world these days, Offering up such a service The service of really wanting to hear or hold me. And I've lost the way home Calling the other day, the voice on the other end was unfamiliar, And unnaccepting to this forlorn fashion of a girl, Trying to be a woman while being pressed down again. Squirming under stunted growth and wasted time. still d-i-s-c-o-n-n-e-c-t-e-d |

You go, girl. Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |
