Broken

My heart is so broken 
It's tearing me up inside 
With all this distance between us 
I feel so  far apart and un-twined 
We are not as we should be 
There is just too much space 
How can we have the closeness 
We did way back in the day 
I lay in my bed and think about you 
I love you so much I don't know what to do 
I feel your warmth at my side 
The pain In my heart moves to my eyes 
So far away yet always so near 
You are the reason I am still here 
With every breath that I take 
Every beat of my heart 
I never want to be apart 
I Waite and wish for it to be just me and you 
I tried so hard to like her 
And  still trying too 
you have no idea but, 
It's really hard to do 
After being your only one for years 
now I'm having to share you 
Believing what you said to me years ago 
That I was the only one for you 
and you couldn't see your self with anyone else 
And that you couldn't love anyone else 
Has broken my heart in two 
I feel like you let your self stop loving me 
enough to love her 
And now she fills my space 
Where my heart used to go 
All the times you thought of me 
Is Now it's split in to two 
There is not enough of just me and you 
I crave the feelings of you wanting me so bad 
But when your eyes look at me , they look so sad 
Im trying to love you like I used to do 
But when your loving some one else 
It makes it hard to do 
I'm not the only one anymore 
And it tears me up inside 
I feel like I'm dying 
And won't wake up inside 
I miss those day 
When the love was so strong 
I could feel you thinking of me 
Even when your not around 
Your eyes would undress me and you would smile at the thought 
Now u just think I dress like a slut
Is there something I can do to get that feeling back 
The feeling of you wanting me 
So damn bad 
I'm longing for your lust 
I'm addicted to your touch 
for the day when you tell me I'm the one.
 I love you , I always will 
My heart is for ever yours 
Please be kind to It and keep it safe and warm

So Close Yet So Far Away

You are amazing , I can't help but stare, you are so close yet so far away. What has happened to drive you away? You once loved me, I could feel it every day, but now you are so close yet so far away. We lay next to each other talking, so close yet so far away. I massage you where you want, so close yet so far away, it's not my touch you want, so close yet so far away, you wake in the morning, you feel me there, your heart sinks, it's not me you were hoping for, so close yet so far away. I love you so much though it's not my love you want I try so hard, all to be unnoticed , so close yet so far away. I call your name and your smile sinks, so close yet so far away. I walk in to the room and your spirit sinks, you're smiling but it's not real, so close yet so far away. I ache for your love, your touch, your kisses, the feel of you in my arms, your smile as you look into my eyes, so close yet so far away. When we do make love you're not all there, tour mind is not all on me so close yet so far away. You sometimes  wish I was someone else, so close yet so far away no matter how much care and time I take, touching you in the ways you want, my touch is just not enough  so close yet so far away.  You dont think it comes from my heart ? So close yet so far away It's not my touch you want, so close yet so far away. You think I'm only doing it because of her, so close yet so far away. When I'm really doing it cause I want to change the way we were.You close your eyes and I sometimes get the feeling, your wishing I was her and  envision another woman, so close yet so far away. I await an I love you that is more than habit. I dream of the day your anger leaves, so close yet so far away. I cry myself to sleep every night, so close yet so far away. I ache for a loving embrace to hold me in the night, so close yet so far away. I hope every day for this nightmare to end, so close yet so far away. I awake in the morning hoping it was just a dream. I dream of the past when you loved me then, I hope you can again, so close yet so far away. You felt I no longer loved you, so far from the truth. I vow to win your love again, so close yet so far away. I dream of the day you look into my eyes and say, I love you , so close yet so far away. I dream of a time when you say I am forgiven and mean it, I dream of the day that you are no longer, so close, yet so far away

I Tried So Hard

I Tried So Hard

I tried so hard. 
I tried my best.
I gave you my all, 
and now there's nothing left.

You stole my heart,
then tore it in two.
Now I'm falling apart,
and don't know what to do.

Divided by decisions,
burned by the fire.
Confused by your words.
Tempted by desire.

I'm living in the present.
My mind is on the past.
Not knowing what I'll lose.
Not knowing what will last.

Blinded by fear.
Drowning in doubt.
Struggling to be free.
Looking for a way out.
I Tried So Hard
