THE LAST FOOTHOLD ON DESPERATION

Folder: 
JOURNAL#2

try as I might

I can't make things right

my emotions have gone haywire

my spirit has taken to flight

you turn me inside out and upside down

but when I make a move

you don't utter a sound

what's wrong with me?

please let this gutless let down

feeling end

Its hard to act light and carefree

I'm not sure how much longer I can pretend

look inside yourself and tell me

If I'm anywhere at all in there

I'm not asking a lot only that you be fair

let go of me or hold me so very tight

for I'm all alone in this dark relationship

and I can't seem to find the light........
