Should I

Love runs deep
But hurt runs deeper still
I can't sleep
Maybe never will

You held my world in your hand
Caried my heart and soul with you
Crushed it into the sand
Made my world blue

So now you want my trust again
You want it all back without having to work at it
Want to be my lover and best friend
I can only give a little bit

Not sure if I should ever try
After all the tears
Yes you made me cry
Many times in fifteen years

I close my eyes and can see you in my arms
But yet I know how many times you let me down
You know your charms
And act like a clown

You always knew how to make me smile
We had our good times along with the bad
But is it worth the endless miles
Of heart ache that you made me feel all the times you got mad

I don't know if I can let you back in to my heart
I am not sure I can take it once more
You have the power to tear me apart
Should I let you in or lock the door

Been here ... smile ... I would say run like the dickens but thats only because I did and then went back later anyway ... and now, ten years after we were over I'm really happy with a little dog ... LOL ... wonderful write here, Nita. You've left the "d" off the word in the title though ... I think its "should" ...

Tough decisions. My heart goes out to you, and I wish you all the best. Especially difficult as the holiday season approaches. Warmest wishes and good luck. Love, Shar
