Should I walk away, or should I stay,
Why look back over ones shoulder,
If no one is looking, still cares;
Can we look them in the eye,
Without wanting to cry?
Is our heart still craving,
Is this love worth saving?
Has our search led to naught?
Soul mates at least I thought,
This pain inside is still there,
I search for solace, but where;
What is love without trust?
Betrayal, unfaithfulness, disgust,
Is it saying sorry when we falter
Forgiving things we cannot alter?
Who do we blame when things go wrong?
Life is short, our conscience long,
We try to hold at arms length,
And pray for inner strength,
But hold onto we still do,
Hope to see it through;
Frightened, hurt, destroyed,
Grieving, shattered, and annoyed,
How then do we measure loves cost,
Who pays when all is lost?
A smile, a kind deed, compassion,
Touching, feeling, passion;
Joy at being with someone, a mate,
Someone to whom we can relate,
Sharing our lives and fears,
Being there throughout the years,
Taking what life may throw,
Depending on someone we know,
The heartache, the worry, the doubt,
These are just some things loves about;
Why then do my feet refuse to budge,
Who am I to stand here and judge?
Why does my heart find no relief?
My world has changed beyond belief,
My soul can find no rest,
Because I did not give my best,
The tears can never change the way,
I had my chance and threw it away,
What is done is done but yet,
I do feel remorse and regret;
Something inside just can’t let go,
I know not what but it’s there even so,
Hoping for another chance,
To continue this romance;
Obsession that became a love somehow,
Still flickers in the dying embers now;
Those feelings remain with me still,
Every word, memory, moment, thrill,
Haunting me every day, they remain the same,
Waking each morning, seeing your name,
Loving you still and wanting you,
A love so different, but true,
Always looking back to see,
