I Don't Know

What I want

Is what I can't find

Something definate

Something so very blind



What I've had

Seems too sad and so dull

Filled with my stupidity

Now gone out of my control



You taught me best

Told me so true

This life is so pointless

Without a 'you'



I'm shivering and cold

Still have a heart of gold

Stories untold

This hope will surely mold



I tried my best

To pass the simple test

Of staying in line

Not falling behind



I failed it all

Now I cry as I fall

You fade away

With you I had it all



This story is sad

I loved you so bad

Together we were glad

But that is all that we had



At least felt by you

My feelings were true

There was nothing I would not do

To make those grey skies blue



Now it's the end

That story's been told

I wasn't playing pretend

I still have my heart of gold



Open me up

So I can finally see

The truth which fills my cup

The truth that never will be



So I'll wait for you

'Till you tell me the truth

Am I just blind?

Why is this world so unkind?



I don't know

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This one came straight form the heart.  I was just thinking about people and the past and i guess it would be fun to find out how past relationships would have turned out had we had them today... this one is writtin to every ex-gf, i suppose.
