LEFT BEHIND

April 1997

                            My heart torn asunder
                            The pieces lay bleeding
                            The pain fills my soul
                            The past has repeated

                            Why does this happen?
                            Over and over?
                            What do I do that brings this replay?
                            Ever and ever to love then lose?

                            Do I demand too much?
                            My principles uncompromising?
                            My morals too strict?
                            My thoughts too concrete?
                            My emotions too swift?
                            What causes this chaos and turmoil?
                            What is it within me that makes this happen?
                            Why must I love someone fully,
                            Helping them grow, showing them heights they'd otherwise
                            not know?
                            Only to gain more pain and hurt..
                            as those that I help, leave me in the dirt.
                            A rock in thier pasts
                            No longer remembered
                            No longer needed
                            They walk away my words unheeded

I'm left to hurt, alone, unwanted
