How can you, look at me, look us, look at all around you
See my face, hear my voice, feel my pain, know the hurt inside me
Long for love, search for truth, alone inside, let me find some reasoning
Still I find, that you choose, that you decide, that you want to cause this
See my tears, so afraid, much regret, yet you choose to go on<p>
How can you, look at me, look at us, look at all around you
Feel God&#8217;s hand, hear his voice, see his face, yet you still deny Him
Know his will, know your sin, who you are, all that now controls you
What you&#8217;ve become, heart so cold, eyes so dim, shadow of what once you were
Dark inside, changed within, lifeless still, is this who you really are<p>How can you, look at me, look at us, look at all around you
All our past, all we were, all we had, all the plans before you
Fading fast, leaving still, far beyond, anything it ever was
Remember when, we first met, we first touched, standing there I kissed your lips
Yet here we are, separate roads, separate paths, leading us to separate lives<p>How can you, look at me, look at us, look at all around you
Know my hurt, because of you, know my tears, all because of what you choose
Building walls, tearing down, what once was, yet you still can sleep at night
See my dreams, all of you, not alone, all begin in anothers arms
Still I rise, still I soar, still I live, inspite of all that you&#8217;ve become

Great poetry-too bad some of the best works come out of our deepest misery [img]images/icons/frown.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Hang in there, poetic bud [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] <p>C

Roman77,<p>Your poetry is some of the most beautiful art I have ever had the privilege of reading. Have you thought about publishing or writing music? Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your gift with us and I hope you continue to grace us with your talent.

Thanks for the compliment [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] . No, I don't think I'll ever pursue anything in the way of publishing them. They are really just a way for me to release what I'm feeling. I normally don't show them to anyone, but since so many people here can relate to what I'm going through, I thought it may help someone else also.<p>Thanks again
