Denied Love
August 1st, 2008
You try to put yourself asleep
Your eyes smile then you weep
You stumble in the night
At the time it’s broad daylight
You fix yourself something to eat
But don’t know if it’s sour or sweet
You check the dial tone all week
By the phone with a hand on the cheek
You hear the clock ticking on the wall
Every second takes a bite of your soul
You feel trapped between a ceiling and a floor
Locked on your patio with no window or door
You turn yourself in to a fantasy and dream
But you wake up on the nightmare and scream
You reach out for help, you can’t breathe
As your denied love continues to sheathe !
