The sun kissing the horizon, turning the sky red
Walking away from it all, nothing left for me here
Except for a distant memory from a time I held you so near

Trying to keep my head up high, trying not to show what I feel
Content in knowing that what I felt for you will always be real
Everything is gone, even my words have wilted away
It would take a miracle, but I wish that somehow I could make you stay

You tell me how sick you are of my ***** lullabies
As I wish to say how I hate to see tears form within your eyes
Burying a finger in my chest, telling me that I don't understand
Wondering what makes me feel like our time together has waned

I just didn't want to lie to you anymore about the things I need
And my love for you continues on, clinging to you in selfish greed

Words Wilted Away

Something I can relate to. I second what ladyfawn says...the first to stanzas can hold there own. The rest of it is still a wonderful write, but it becomes a more personal aspect of the poem, whereas the first two stanzas, well, they speak to us all.
Angel always...godspeed...joni
