Weakness

Emotions tumbling thru
I see you across the room

Trying to make that connection.
Where will this lead?

Thinking how wrong it is
For me to love you.

Can�t decide if I
Must leave you.

You and I meant to be,
Isn�t that wrong,
Why can�t I see?

Don�t understand what
You�re doing to me.

Maybe we should try and work it out then
Or maybe just leave it all alone here.

I�m so confused,
Is this really love?

Are we meant to be?

I know I have to make that choice now.
But it�s hurting me inside,

Maybe it�s better this way,
We�ll just kill each other
At the end of the day.

Still I can�t see my life
Without you.

Why can�t things ever be simple?

Want the pain to stop,
Want you so much more.

Please don�t leave me
All alone here.

Stay with me.

Don�t walk away.

Help me understand.

I need you.

Do You Know Me?

Here as the still quiet night falls,
While others lie in their beds,
Drifting off to sleep
I lie awake to contemplate my fate.

Shadows come up against
The walls of my memories
Like a fire that claims lives
I fear the worst is
Yet to come

Do you know what it�s like
To be me?

To know only what darkness brings?

A fear to live and die
Haunts the very being of me.

Living in this shell of
What they call a body,
Temptation seems to strike
Right through it.
Wanting to take charge of my life.

Seeing things as how they are.
Learning to fight for life is hard.
Though many think it�s not.

Do you know me?

I drift off into a dark corner
Away from the looks and stares.
Knowing that I fight alone,
People will always compare.

Show me a little compassion,
Show me a little faith.
Tell me that there�s hope for tomorrow,
Don�t come and condemn my fate.

Do you what it�s like
To be me.

I sit, watch and wait

I only hope it�s not too late.
