Untitled

If you only knew how much I keep myself shrouded from you
protecting myself
keeping myself
to myself
while you dance around in the play of your life

my moods change - and so do yours
you spring out of bed
looking for the solution of why the internet is not working
on the computer
no 'good morning'...
no mention of the previous nite.....
a bloody cold morning
if you asked me....and I am glad I need to walk the dog
have things to do

We used to kiss all the time
embrace and enjoy the moments we spent together
but now it's strained
can't think of a thing to say
emptiness shouts
inside my heart
and directs me away.

Wow....this is powerful, sad, and so candid in deep feeling...I believe it speaks volumns for others who feel the same despair, and discouragement. Only good wishes...~ Carrie
