***authors note*** please do not anyone here worry about me...this was just a form of expression. i really am fine. don't want anyone to worry... No Escaping AMK 11/16/01 There are no words left To express the love I have for you I’m tired of this dance we continue I’m sitting this one out, putting away my dancing shoes There is no emotion left Which I have not already conveyed I’ve laid out my heart on the line However, it’s apparent the choice that you’ve made Yet I know that if you were honest If you would just look deep inside You’d know that with me is where you want to be Instead you run away and “hide” There are no tears left For which I can continue to cry I’m stuck in between saying hello And bidding you a sweet Goodbye If you would stop for a moment Be still long enough to think You’d realize not so much has changed Meanwhile tonight I take another drink The tequila numbs the pain It makes it all easier to bare For at least tonight I can pretend That I honestly just no longer care This is a choice I must make A final destination for me to go The choice was left up to you Now it’s no longer so Yet stuck here in limbo I stay It’s as though my feet are frozen to the floor Though we’ve said “its over” before Neither one of us seems to be rushing for the door There is nothing left for me to say As my soul is painted blue tonight I recall the events of today As I watched the fading of our light Will we ever feel again The way that we once did Or are the feelings truly forever to be buried Always to be hid Perhaps we still feel the same And this is all meant to be I don’t know what else to do at this point So I’m gently setting you free My heart says it’s so right My body wants to keep on giving My head says you better run while you can My soul says this isn’t living It’s like living but being dead As I take another shot, the heat courses through my veins Doesn’t matter how drunk I get tonight I can never escape the pain "Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have" [This message has been edited by Aimster (edited 11-16-2001).] |

Amy, Thanks for the disclaimer. This is way too well expressed. I feel the pain and appreciate that it isn't current. Nice job. |

My heart says it’s so right My body wants to keep on giving My head says you better run while you can My soul says this isn’t living It’s like living but being dead As I take another shot, the heat courses through my veins Doesn’t matter how drunk I get tonight I can never escape the pain ======================================== Dont tell a moth not to worry...its what we do best...*S* This just aches off the page Aim... and I'll spare you the motherly lectures that are second nature...cuz you answered your own question in that second to last line... and cause you already know what Im gonna say. we have to learn to not always let our hearts lead us back down roads we've already traveled... you already know this...that second to last verse says so......... this is a powerful write Amy... how ironic our best stuff is written when we feel the worst. heart hugs dear one... you are stronger than you know. jm Ice covers my soul |

I really understand how you feel. I do! Coz I just been through that myself, but in my case, he wasn't hiding from me. I'm not too sure now how he felt about me, but I don't want to be sure now either, coz even if I was, he's not around anymore. I guess we just have to get on with our lives, coz our entire being doesn't just revolve around this one guy. There are lots of people who care about us, and care about why we're feeling so down.

Amy Hi sis. I didn't know about this poem. Glad I saw it. Though it disturbs me a little. Are you alright? You can talk to me if you like. But this was very well expressed. Take care. Love ~Lisa~ ~in order to gain, you have to lose~ |
