Desperate

I would cry a river to be away from despear, I would drink an ocean to have the aches i feel disappear. I would reel in the moon to have the shackles removed from my feet, And their is no mountain i wouldn't climb to stop his grinding of my teeth. I'd walk around the world to hear the noises stop, I'm prepared to eat the eyes of an eagle to prevent my heart attack. Or rob a bank , or touch the sun, or cut a star in two, I'd rather burn in fire than stay this way with you. I would tour the ocean floors, tear my heart out of my chest, Take a bullet to my head, Or drill a whole through my left breast. If it would take away the turmoil, and wash the mud from my brain And cleanse my heart of impurities, like a treasure washed clean by rain. Or if it would shine the sun, that would in turn warm my heart, And melt away this icebox, that turned me cold and torn apart. I'm desperate to erase the memories, of hurt and loveless times, Of empty dreams and promises, of things that were never mine. Just tel me what to, no matter how impossible it may seem, I just want this feeling to be over, I want the reality of my lifelong dream.

How I relate to the truth of what you write! So well you describe the indifference that kills the love in a relationship. This needs to be read again and I will put it in my favs. Thanks for your visit and kind comment Jody.
