WATCHING

Watching the smiles that pass between lovers
That sight made her envy of others
Wanting the warmth from a kind man
But a stranger in her dreams is all she had
Angry from confusion of how love feels
Tainted by her wounds that will never heal

Watching the rain fall on that morn
Her tears were carried with the midnight storm
Feeling as cold as the winters breeze
Her broken heart was left to bleed
A trail of illusions were scattered in the past
Her sanity was plagued by their hurtful grasp

 
SORROW OF LONELINESS

My eyes show the sorrow of my loneliness
A want or arms to hold me close
Waiting for words not be spoken is lost
I slip into dreams, with a smile on my face
Sweet red wine is all I can taste
I carry the hurt from past lying tongues
Walking home singing the same sad love song
I accept offers that willingly lay on my plate
Is this bleeding heart my only fate
I drive myself away from feelings that are near
Being alone is all that I fear

My smile shows the unhappiness inside
A want for a voice to soothe my pain
Only knowing the same nightmare will occur again
I fantasize of a love that grows stronger through time
When to my memories I make myself blind
I will not notice when love stands in my way
When these feelings come close I feel so afraid
I imagine a place where alone I can be
A troubled sky is the only angle I see
I wake to birds singing at the morning
and realize another lonely day is dawning
