Many Times...

So many times I came to you

So many times I cried...

So many times I tried to say

All the things that were on my mind.

But, for some unknown reason, you could never see

And finally inside my heart, I felt alone with me.

No dreams, no goals, no future plans

Nothing but deep feelings of loneliness,

hopelessness, feeling out of control.

I tried so many times to pretend it was ok,

But deep inside my soul, the feelings went away.

And now you tell me how very much you care

But the words seem to fall on deaf ears.

I wonder why you couldn't see,

What I had been telling you for years.

And now we are at the point-

Where we feel as if we are towering over a cliff,

Life seems at a standstill.

Should I stay or should I go?

And I wonder if you will ever see

Just what this has cost me.
