pensivity

I'm not asking if you love me
'fraid the answer may not please
left to dream
my heart still open
yet my mind shall never ease
too much thinking makes me question
could you only read my mind?
for brutal truth
would surely scar me
I fear unhappiness to find
so I float along in limbo
that's what I get for loving you
unsure of step, thought, or purpose
come on sunshine, see me through
til sleep can once again protect me
from conscious misery of day
where tenders flow
our spirits dance
painful reality, keep away
must I forever heed the warning?
is a sad heart not to heal?
will I one day welcome morning?
find your precious love to feel?
it seems so useless to continue
has my life just been a waste?
today, I'm asking, do you love me?
and pray, your kisses I might taste
should you be cold on the shoulder
with words, confirm my fears
no escape for me into the night
I'll only find more tears

Very nice and sadly what we must go through when we have our hearts broken.. The only cure is time.. time and more time.. You penned the misery quite nicely! hug teddybear
