Am I Supposed To

AM I SUPPOSED TO? 

Am I supposed to be getting something from all this heartache and pain? 

Am I supposed to drown myself in all this un-needed rain? 

Am I supposed to go insane or walk away with my head held high? 

Am I supposed to disc you now- Tell you, I love you and without you, I would surely die? 


Am I supposed to walk away and not look back- or- 

Am I supposed to continue to take your opposition? 

Am I supposed to take you back into my arms- and not care- for all you have done? 

Am I supposed to tell you nothing else matters- but you and me? 

And without you, I would surely cry- 

Am I supposed to turn a blind eye and pretend everything is all right? 

Am I supposed to continue to welcome the heartache and strife? 


Am I supposed to take my heart, lock it away; with the hope that someone honest and loving will find it one day? 

Am I supposed to hibernate until that time arrives? 

Through the storms- through the sunshine- through the nights- and all through the morns- 

Am I to listen to more of your lies- to your solemn promise- to your alibis? 

-OR- 

Am I supposed to learn something from all of this? 

Take it to my bosom, store it for future use- 

So, one day, I may know true happiness- Am I?
