April 22, 1997

I lie awake in my bed,
thinking... what I left unsaid.

My eyes are swollen shut,
and my heart empty inside.
Please help me out of this rut,
or at least find me a place to hide.

God, all I wanted was love;
someone to love me back.
Show me an eagle or a dove,
and help me through this attack.

Well at least I know I can cry,
for my face is sopping with tears.
All this time I was always dry,
because I held in most of my fears.

I don't want to feel so alone,
as I always have before.
I just want a place of my own,
with "him" at the front door.

Not here though, for he is gone.
And I am left here, only to long.
Please give me strength...
And help me move on.
