Subject: In The Dark, Alone

Yes, I run in here and hide,
In this dark Chasm,
Running from the one I love,
So he can't see me cry.

Because he wouldn't talk to me,
He did not understand
That he would have to wait for me.
I've been working to meet his demand.

Before I even realized
What he had done,
I guess he didn't realize
He'd gone and jumped the gun.

Now it seems, he is alone,
Regretful of his loss,
And it would seem to be my fault,
And his love, my cost.

But I haven't told him
I sleep alone as well
In my son's back bedroom,
And I don't sleep well.

If only he'd been clear
To me, and told me what he needed
I would have been gone two months ago.
His word I would have heeded.

And I don't think that he has faith in me,
I don't think he's believing
That I am taking that final step,
That I am really leaving,

That where I live is not my home.
I have been trying to find one.
And none of this is easy.
But he just won't believe me.

I want to be out of here right now,
But have no place to go.
And not only do I have to fight him every day,
But I have another daily battle, too.
And I'm getting worn thin from fighting both
Of them
And I cry and cry
I just wanted real love
I didn't want to die
Like this
But I guess it's what I deserve.
I guess I'm just no good,
And I have a lot of nerve.

I wish there was someone
Out there who would reach
Out to me, because I'm lonely
And desolate, as desolate
As he
But I'm afraid he tires
Of my love,
Burned out in our infancy.
