Torn

If we only knew what fate would be hiding for us .... would we have changed our choices?

Torn

I close my eyes to dream away
I thought I heard you call
I close my eyes and sway
I stagger and watch myself fall

I reach out for you in despair
You're nowhere to be found
Abandoned me in my scare
Losing my solid ground

Baby I'm torn… So torn apart
Agony running through my veins
It's driven deeper into my heart
Can't break free off these chains

All I have is a wounded memory
A recollection of your voice
Just an incomprehensible theory
Leaving me repressed with no choice

You say you're doing it for my sake
It's only a matter of time
You wanna save us any heartache
Oh baby what you're doing is a crime

What you're doing cuts both ways
We're both hurting and the pain's rough
I know you're still mine despite the frays
Baby I 'm begging you enough

Here I am and my love's got no pride
You try to keep yours under control
I might know what you're feeling inside
But you're hiding never letting it show

Believe me I'm not that strong
Pretending is all I can do
But I can't keep it for so long
I'm so helpless without you

Loneliness is corroding me alive
And I miss you like crazy
Love me…Bring me back to life
Pull me out of a doubt so hazy

Baby I'm so torn without you
This I'm not pretending
I'll keep my love throughout you
Doesn't this torment have an ending

Breathe some light within my soul
Breathe some faith within my heart
Hold me close, make me whole
I'm torn.. so torn.. I'm falling apart

It can be hard to know what is right...we all wish for better fates, but if I knew what my fate was, I probably wouldn't bother trying...great write...

[Mira ThePoetess]

thanks for reading and yes we must try and nobody can tell what tomorrow may bring and if we knew then we still would want to change things ... human nature

[Relic]

You've written this with such elegance and emotion. There is a inner pain within your words that is evident.

Ah, if we only knew...the world would be perfect I guess. "If wishes were changes there'd be no goodbyes."

Nice poem Mira.
