After years of seeming acceptance
My sudden intolerance
Was like a knife through his heart
It was as if I had awakened
To the pain I had repressed
That would no longer sleep.

I sit alone deep in the night thinking about my black and blue life
And nothing can convince me it could be right.
What to do but get a knife and cut apart the raging strife.

It is a nightmare of my own making
That haunts me when I'm sleeping
That haunts me while I'm awake
And I know it will never go away
Because that's the way of pain
Always there . . .

While I can't berlieve I'm not here for a reason
I've searched and I can find no reason for my existence
A cold emptiness has settled in my heart
And my eyes are so tired and sad. . . .

When I realized I loved you
It became a struggle within my heart
Because I knew I would be in bondage
And all my hopes and desires
Would never ease the pain
Of knowing what loving you is . . .

The years slipped by
My babies became men with lives of their own
My job was done.
The years slipped by
Swallowed up by loneliness, drowning in despair...
My truth was beheld.
I was . . .

Sometimes I just want to fall off the face of the earth
Because I am so tired of living this unremarkable life.
I despair of an existence without any hope or rewqrd.
That negates all the things . . .

Just now
I'm tired,
Tired of living.
But I know I'm not ready for dying
Not just now anyway.
There's too much to do
Until the end of my days

She was a farmer's wife
Up at dawn...with her apron on
Greeting another day.
Five a.m. breakfast ended
Her man is out the door...like every day before
She sits at the table and rests. . . .

With all her broken dreams in hand
She Took her oath, she made her stand
And placed a gun up to her head
And shot herself completely dead.
What could she see that I could not?

Oh, I am living a tired life lacking of happy endings and hope,
Filled with misgivings and strife, void of feeling or a reason to cope.
My face is sketched in melancholy in deepest shades of blues and . . .

I want to live
I want to be free
I want to feel
But you won't let me.
You won't let me...
You won't let me...
Oh, why won't you let me live?

I've resorted to games of bitter folly
That could not rid me of sweet melancholy.
I listened for my heart to hear it
Her lonely, wanton inner spirit.
I want to touch her soul again,
But . . .

Sometimes in the heart of the night I still weep
When your memory comes back to me.
I swore I'd never love again, but I have.
Isn't it strange how the heart mends?
Yet no one could ever take . . .

When I think of all the years
And I think of all the tears
I wonder what life really is?
When I dream dreamless dreams
And you're all that it seems
Rapidly time slips by
When my soul is untamed . . .

I possess a bleeding heart
Because I know I'm not a part
Of the world my lover lives
Of the beauty his soul gives
And deep inside I know I fear it
That he could ever love my spirit
So on the . . .

Where are you this night
While I swoon to the beat
of reason and right?
I wait for you now
at my window to tap
But I am paralzed of
feeling for the heart
that I lack.
Only your . . .

I have to stop searching
for feelings that aren't there
Mon Dieu! I must stop cursing
the heart that cannot care!
But I cannot stop the love from sleeping
deep within my breast
And I . . .

I know for me there's no way out
No matter how loud
I scream or shout!
There really is no way out.
And I must accept it
This I know
But a voice inside me
Won't let go
Of the yearnings . . .

It was as if Time just sat there
but I know why Love had to die
and how Life loss her laughter.
My heart was broken and despised
and because of hate it was my fate
to find the Truth . . .
