hurt and agony, love and despair

you tell me you love me

so much more than all others

yet i feel you don't care



are these your words

or life's giving this eternal challenge

to my heart, pulling

this tormented ecstasy from my soul



the love you bestow, i give all i have

it's not enough, you want more

demanding

screaming silently, insisting



in your cold cold ways

you tell me not

the more i ask, all the less you give

i should know without asking



though you say, you tell me not

thoughts you fling at me

tears, love

squirming smiles, yearning



why, is it always

so deeply mixed up all together

is it me.....

yet the words come from you



my longing for your sweet caresses

and you mine, shall prevail

your reluctance to give.. so quick to reject

all of life you give to me



with this price

that i just know your love overwheming

without asking

knowing -- to be my destiny



thinking back over the years

to now, even now

so convincing your rejections

yet feeling you still



your want, your desires, strong as ever

you are always there for me

but where, when i look for you

why can't you be here?



ohhhhhhh again asking, no asking

ever, just knowing

how you love me

knowing, how much you care



with every fight, every breath

that is in me, gasping for air

with every pant of me

given.... to you



i see......... i seeee

you give all the same to me!

does asking change this

can a grain of sand change the ocean



what arrogance to ask this

your love unyielding, washing over me

taking, giving

the tides unceasingly tossing me



demanding, there is no part of me in this

for i must just feel, and know

and i do

know the power

of your love
