not really sure about this one. i just sat down and wrote it. you be the judge. i'd rather not comment.


Shadow

There is only so much I can take.
There is only so much you can break.
I have found I cry myself awake
And I am no longer able to fake.

I do not smile in the summer.
I do not dance in the rain.
I do not listen to the birds.
I do not breathe

There is only so much I can take.
There is only so much you can break.
I have found I cry myself awake
And I am no longer able to fake.

Why have you hidden my love?
Why have you taken my sun?
Why do you insist on leaving
When our love has just begun?

There is only so much I can take.
There is only so much you can break.
I have found I cry myself awake
And I am no longer able to fake.

Where will I run when the shadows
Have overrun my heart?
Where will I go from here
If I don't know where to start?

There is only so much I can take.
There is only so much you can break.
I have found I cry myself awake
And I am no longer able to fake.

My heart is breaking, love.
My heart is aching, love.
My heart is bleeding, love.
My heart is stopping, love.

Hi KGirard...
Your poem illustrates your heartache so well...
But take it easy on yourself...Time will pass and
you'll find another love...don't be so hard on yourself
