Looking

looking here
looking there
take a breath 
scared to death
of the what is happening
waiting for the ending
trying to see
everything you've done to me
in a better light
trying to make it all alright
but I can't take away the hurt
feeling like dirt
the silence between us
the lost trust 
going day by day
trying to find my way
away from here
to a place I shall not fear
where I will not shed a tear
