Hard To Be Without
I find people are usually,
Illogical and self-centered.
I often feel the
Twilight Zone, I entered.
If you're kind they accuse you
Of hidden motives.
I find it hard to
Not be explosive.
In my journey I have had,
False friends and trusted enemies.
Life takes on many shapes,
Sizes and densities.
What you spend years building
Someone can destroy overnight.
Sometimes energy spent,
It is not worth the fight.
Can love really
Be an instantaneous thing?
It takes effort and patience
For it to spring.
Love should be easy,
A ray of hope.
Not a tug from a
Slipping rope.
Love should be amazing,
A dazzling light.
Not something that fades
Slowly out of sight.
When you're down it's hard to believe,
You just have to wait.
Doing the right thing, not everyone
Has this character trait.
Love was not designed
To put on a show.
It is not something that can
Come and then go.
They say with time
I will heal.
That won't change
The way I feel.
I loved her with all of me,
This I have no doubt.
It was so easy with her,
So hard to be without.
