        My back was against the wall.
        You saw me and just walked away.
        Never heard my call,
        When I cried out your name.

        You said I was the one that
        had to reap what you sowed.
        These dreams of you
        never came close to true.

        You slapped me across my face.
        I turned the other cheek.

        Keeping my back against the wall.

Hey Julia,

right away this reminded me of
Cat Stevens, "Wild World"

"Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world"

and yes, know that YOU
are who matters
(which I know you do)
Much Love
Susie

I agree with Ice man here..always keep your back against the wall.. and would say lower yourself no lower than you must, to survive and to escape...
