country mile

i step back
to look at me with you
i no longer want to be the cause
of the unhappiness that surrounds you

 

lately your face
has abandoned that heart warming smile
lately there has been space
when we hug -- i feel that country mile

 

i don't want to be
where my presence is no longer desired
i step back -- to find the words
to tell myself -- i'm fired

 

i understand your fear
your desire to not be alone
but what good is a house
that has never developed into a home

 

in your eyes -- i see your truth
i see the pain that i put you through
i'm honest now with myself and you when i say
there is no more hope for me -- in you

Wow! This is powerful and such a gripping write.
I like this. I could feel this one from your heart.
