Between the Lines

Takes all my strength
to feel my will.
I know not when
the strain will leave.
Each passing day
each morn that shines
allows a chance,
some small reprieve.

Sometimes I think,
those thoughts of ill,
are due to failures
past, to face.
The heaviness,
in wait of mind
takes all my strength
each step I pace.

The toll it takes,
no one can know,
but, I who dreams
of yesterday
when I could touch
and feel the real,
the warmth of love
to fade my gray.

If I could reach,
could touch you now
I'm sure with hands
we each could lift
the weight of knowing,
a want renewed,
with all my strength
I'd share this gift.

the rain
from pouring down
can't stop the
world from turning 'round
can't stop me from
loving you
no matter
