Desperate for love and affection
I thought her words were true
I'm back at the beginning
not knowing what to do
I'm needing more than just a friend
with her I felt like a teenager again

No answers to my questions
I call or text to no replies
I gave her everything she wanted
only to be chopped down from all sides
I keep thinking where did I go wrong?
I'll bet she had her eyes on the exit sign all along
Once again I pick up the pieces of what's left of my heart
This happened very recently and I still don't know why she quit seeing me, maybe because I'm not very good at poetry lol

Can't see the sun
darkness hits me
I'm cold and numb
but I'm not guilty
beneath the ground
is where they left me
I'm giving up
but I'm not guilty
and the birds are flying
and the water is clean
don't waste my time
with apologies
my heart has grown colder
our life together is over
I told her
I'm not guilty

Leaving
I must go away
the only thing I'll take is pain and hate
Crying
just to get your way
one more reason I can't stay
is this mirror laughing at me
or am I giving in to conformity
can someone end this suffering
can someone end my misery
trade my pain for heaven
guess I'll never know
Dying
a little more each day
I can't stand to even see your face
is this mirror laughing at me or have I lost all sense of reality
can someone end this suffering
can someone end my misery
trade my pain for heaven
guess I'll never know
This was written back in 1997 when I was in high school, it's about an ex girlfriend and how I didn't really fit in with her circle of friends, so I hope you enjoyed it, if not, that's fine as well

And she said that she could never find another guy who would love her like I do
But I look around this lonely house and the only thing that's missing here is you
People ask me all the time what in the world ever happened to you
I lie and say you're doing fine but I never really had a clue
Hello new life
Goodbye ex wife
It's gonna take some time to replace you
Hello new life
Goodbye ex wife
It's gonna take some time to replace you
But time is the only thing I've got
My attempt at Bob Dylan I guess lol

— The End —
