Unknown

Memories haunt me, following my every move
Like two bright eyes hunting in the midst of darkness
Forcing me to look deep into orbs of danger
Unwanted reminders of the things I've done
The fear of not knowing
What is lurking behind the light
Cautiously waiting
A sitting target in the night

If I reach out will the eyes attack?
There is just too much unknown
Patience is striping away
Teaching me to embrace despair
Knowing that misery is better than no emotion at all
Wanting to break free and missing what used to be
Might just end up killing me
The past is done and gone
But here my mind and heart collide

The need to let go
To enjoy the reward of overcoming so much
It is right there waiting
But something is holding me back
The pain of life runs deep and I am still young
I have so much more to come
Future hopes intersected
By heart-cries from long ago

Tears keep falling
Voices taunt me about all I've lost
And all I risk losing by holding on
Surrendering to this unknown
Might be my only escape

Do Feel

Inside I feel as if we are falling apart And I am the one to blame I don't know if you have sensed it But this is the way I feel I try to stop it You know I love you But I feel as if you are slipping through my fingers And away from my heart I feel helpless and useless There is nothing I can do or say To stop these feelings from coming But I guess that I should feel lucky That my heart still feels at all

Why

I keep asking myself Why does he love me?  Me of all people? But then I ask, why do I love him? And why can't I see myself without him? Why has my life changed to revolve solely around him? All of these questions and I have no answers No reasons as to why I guess we'll just never know This raises another question How do we stay together? I guess because we know what we have is real I am sure you are asking How can we be sure of that? I say because of our experience and intuition Tells us it can be All of these unanswered questions Stir conflict from time to time But we have learned that after The things we didn't mean to say have settled And we have long forgotten The things we didn't mean to do The only thing that remains Is our love for one another And I believe that is enough To thrive on for the rest of our lives

Remember

I remember when long ago All I could do was dream Of finding true love I remember when long ago My wrists sorrowfully showed my pain As did yours I remember when long ago Life held no meaning I felt as if I was being forced to play a game I remember when long ago I felt as if my closest friends Were abandoning me I remember when long ago Alcohol became a dear friend As I tried to drink away my sorrows I remember when long ago You stepped into my life And managed to change all of that Later I will remember How good it felt For your love to fill my heart
