Here We Go Again

Here we go again
 Down this road so dim
  Where I can see no end
    On this road no one wins

Where were you tonight
 You claimed your mind was in flight
  But it seemed you wanted to pick a fight
   When I simply asked you to shed some light

I could tell something was wrong
 Our normal rhythm and vibe was gone
  For your embrace I longed
   But to your thoughts tonight you belonged

Communication is the key
 I’ve said this constantly
  But my anguish you don’t see
   You’re numb to my pleas 

Once again I’m left to figure out
 Your actions instill in me more doubt
  I pretend not to think about
   But inside I just want to shout; inside my heart pouts

When I ask what’s wrong with you
 It’s out of genuine concern; it's true
  When you’re hurt remember I hurt too
   I just want to be here for you

If you desire space
 Let me know; I will not chase
  My pride will remain in place
   I’m letting you know just in case

I understand you’re discreet
 But look around; what do you see
  Look closer and in your life there’s me
   Please open up and let me see

I want to trust you with my heart
 Don’t scare me away just as I start
  For my heart you are now a part

Lay

A beautiful write trying to reassure someone you are there for them, hoping they will open up and share with you instead of shutting you out.. A piece many can relate to Lay.. Love Wilma
