I've exhausted myself from crying
shedding my tears for you
The one who was meant to love me
had broke my heart in two.
I'm tired from my sleepless nights
and waiting for you to call.
Wondering why I would waste my time,
why fall for you at all?
I'd lay with my back to you
staring into the dark.
Searching the depths of my mind
wondering how we lost our spark?
Fed up with our arguments
and fighting your stubborn ways.
Backing down after every fight
just to make sure he stays.
I used to sleep in your arms
and now we sleep apart.
And I wonder if it occured to you
that it slowly broke my heart?
I loved locking my lips with yours
but now theres hesitation.
For what you felt I have no idea
but what you've left is only devestation.
I fight the urge to cry
knowing theres nothing we had before.
That deep down I've lost you
and theres just no 'us' anymore.
I loved you then just as I do now
and perhaps God had it planned?
But to fall in love and watch it end..
I will never understand.

Whoa
The rhyme and rhythm of this piece is stunning...The part that I most identify with is:
I'd lay with my back to you
staring into the dark.
Searching the depths of my mind
wondering how we lost our spark?
Too many nights like this I cringe to think about it....Thank you for your entry and good luck in the contest! -
