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 !
