One Day I'll Die

When I was too young to care

I spoke with a lady

Who told me "Don't lose faith in love."

Now that I'm older I know

Lord, I know

Exactly what she meant

'Cause I've been losing it all my life.

Every day I live I feel the decay,

Starved for affection and sleeping in the mud,

In the mire.

But one day I'll die

And I won't be starvin' or weepin'

Or feelin' anymore.

I'll keep a drop of faith to get my by

Until I die

And find release.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A little more forthright than most of my stuff.  No cloaks of ambiguity here...just naked emotions.  Feel free to open fire if you need to...I'm not ashamed of this one.

Wow. This is definately pure, raw emotion...few have the courage to be so honest, so open with their vulnerability, their need...
...reading this is like peering through an open portal into that place in each of us that only true love can fulfill, & hearing the echoes of a confession of the weariness from looking to other things,& to others, to attempt to fill that place...
...& I don't mean the true love that we all want from the opposite sex....that only fills that place so far...
