| Senseless Thoughts So many words Spin in my head But none cohere And so, instead They make no sense They form no thought And I am in This temptest caught No firm idea To latch onto No opinion To follow through And so, I wait Upon my muse Til she decides My hand to use Copyright � 4/13/2001 Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |

| Love Hurts I listen for the sound of your car in the driveway As I lay alone in our bed And when I hear it, I pretend to be asleep I just can't bear to hear another of your excuses You creep into our bedroom, and ease into our bed And within minutes, you're fast asleep And I lay awake throughout the night Trying to decide if I can continue on like this I'm still in love with you And strangely enough, I believe you still love me Is this just a phase you're going through And what if itis Does that make it any more accepable Not to me, it doesn't Regardless of your reasons why This is slowly killing me And yet, the thought of living without you is more than I can bear Though if you were to stop this deceit today I'm not sure I could find it in my heart to forgive you And as the sun makes its appearance I am no closer to answers than before When the alarm goes off, you reach over and take me in your arms And I let you And for a little while, it's just you and me All of our troubles fade away But they'll be back all too soon And the answers will still be unknown Copyright � 4/12/2001 Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |
