I'M Losing You
I try to say all the things I meant to say.
Sometimes it seems words get in my way.
I look for the answers, desire which are true.
I watch it drift by as see I’m losing you.
I get up and start this day with a clean slate.
The questions and answers don’t seem to equate.
I see what I know yet have so much to learn.
I want to put out the fire yet bridges still burn.
I was hoping it could have been better today.
I know I didn’t mean all the things that I say.
I wish I took the time to just figure it out.
It leaves me standing in the shadows of doubt.
I was hoping perhaps I would do much better.
I was going to sit down and write you a letter.
The words would not come so what shall I do?
Only to realize that I am still losing you.
I was hoping you’d stay and just not go.
The winds of change continue to blow.
I look all around to see what’s left,
I feel I was robbed there wasn’t a theft.
I resign to the fact I don’t get everything right.
What I saw in darkness is revealed in the light.
The sun does return to a sky that’s so blue.
I feel this sorrow because I’m losing you…
