Who am I without love?

My heart is like a black hole

Love travels in and out.

The sadness eats at my soul

And I am forever tired and weary.

Wanting to do more but can't.

Wanting to be more but won't.

The desire to be

Is no more....

My heart is spent on trying.

I'm weak from all my worry.

My shoulders are tense and knotted

And my face aches from all the crying.

What should I do that hasn't been done?

What should I try next?

It seems as if I've done everything I can

But end up back in the same place.

Forever sad.

Forever hurt.

Forever crying.

My smile is a flat line.

And the color has drained from my face.

Life's smell is pungent and vile

Making me want to curl up in my chest.

You wonder why I'm morose?

You wonder why I'm hurting?

If you could stop for a minute and hear my pleas...

If you could just stop ignoring.

Maybe you'll see my tears

And hear my shrieks of pain.

Maybe you'll take the time to listen

And tell me you love me again.

But until then I'll be here

Until then I'll be waiting.

For you to give me the love I need

For you to help me stop hurting.

The choice is truly up to you

What more can I say or do?

As soon as you change your ways

The less likely I'll end up in my grave.
