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

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

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

Not Him

I sing the hymns, they sound so sweet They touch the deepest parts of me So tell me why I think about you And not Him I hear a voice that sounds so near 'I love you' is what it says So tell me why I hear you And not Him I picture walking through those pearly gates Following the golden roads So tell me why I'm walking with you And not Him At times I feel so lonely I call out for help and strength So tell me while I call to you And not Him He is supposed to be put first in my life But somehow he seems to fall second So tell my why my number one is you And not Him I try to love Him But I feel as if I'd be abandoning you So tell me why I'm telling you And not Him I've tried to explain Why you seem to mean so much more I figure I've just grown Too dependent of your love So somehow I will have to make it up to Him For I will not be ashamed of showing my love to you And not Him
