Why I Cry |

When I think of you I cry Cause of what was lost in our “love” And what we have become Once I saw forever in your eyes Now I see contempt Knowing you so well But not knowing you at all Til it was too late A sense of loss and wasted time Is the fruit of my labor When instead we should be living We are surviving When we should be loving We are dividing Happiness is but a word But the trail on my cheek is all too real The tear is not because I have lost you But because I knew you in the first place Love one another-let God do the worrying, |

"When instead we should be living We are surviving When we should be loving We are dividing" all too often, all too sadly true.... beautifully stated, man. -Napalm I Love The Smell Of Napalm In The AM! |

Steadfast love - I pray neither one gives up hope. Hugs and prayers coming your way. let our hands communicate what's in our heart. A Wisp of a brush... |
