| TO MY LOVE The way I feel when I’m held close in your arms There is nothing that compares. I couldn’t stand to lose your love So I know I shouldn’t dare To say the things that I do, To mumble the nothings Of no possible truth, To pass off your pain as my own And pretend to understand your thoughts. There is nothing more of a mystery to me Than the way you really feel inside, When you hold it all away from me As if you had a reason to hide. And I shake my head in wonder At why you’d be keeping it in, I wish for the knowledge and strength I need, to know where to begin. To find out the things you keep deep in your soul And pull them close to mine, So I can be closer to you somehow And I won’t be left behind. Alexis Ryan Souder September, 2000 |
