| Timid Heart If only I had acted Instead of standing back Perhaps I could have stopped it But I just felt I lacked The wherewithal to compete Against the likes of her I haven't got her beauty And I could never stir The kind of feelings she can And I don't have her style About all I could offer Would be my heart and smile So I stood there silently And watched her make her play For the one that I adored I knew she'd get her way For who could resist her wiles When she used them so well I prepared to watch my love Fall victim to her spell But much to my amazement That's not the way it went My love just waited until Her energy was spent Then I watched completely rapt As my love walked my way And took my hand as captive And then led me away Copyright � 4/22/2001Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |
| What Is Love? In the wee morning hours As I had a heart to heart I was asked, "What is love?" I thought about it for a bit And then my answer was clear You can be fond of someone Even be infatuated with them You may just like them an awful lot But if you can live without them Then you don't love them Because that's what love is Copyright � 4/21/2001 Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |
| I Died Today I died today.....it's true You are my whole world The love of my life You put joy in my heart You are everything to me And without you nothing else matters You are my reason for living And when you walked out today You took that reason with you You took my heart with you And I died Oh, I'll continue to exist I'll survive But I won't live again Not until you're back in my arms Copyright � 4/22/2001Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |
