In the night I sit in the dark, swallowed by the tears that I cry
Trying so hard to hold on to the light, its happiness I treasure
Alone in this corner my heart torn by the hardship of lies
You said you wanted me, you said you needed me
But were those words formed to fill my desire not yours?
I wait in the shadows, the loneliness devours my soul
Was I asking too much, was I expecting more then I should have?
I go running towards you when you need me
But when I so desire your attention your not to be found
In this awakening hour I sit here open and exposed to all
My feelings, my needs, my desires banished away by you
How could I be such a fool, how could I fall for the words you so spoke?
Is this the truth, the never ending cycle of give and take?
In which you are always the receiver
I shut out the feelings of hatred and sorrow
I push back the flood of tears that shall not fall for you
I am strong, I am willed and I will stand
Time has shown me the guidance I so need
And I shall walk the path away from you
Into a world in which I will be happy again……..
