Hopeless Reality

by Chris Sheffler - Aries

The sands of time shift downward and away,
are you the one I need, the one for which I pray,
I thought I needed only your endless love,
my spirit longs to soar like a wingless dove,
your face is the only one I see and ever knew,
my love for you is the kind that is always true,
your eyes have been imprinted upon my soul,
but your frozen heart has taken it’s final toll,
I wish the knowledge of my love for you was known,
by more then the ones that I have shown...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do you want me?
Or do you not?
Is it because I’m not what you want?
Or have your friends persuaded you otherwise?
Could you ever love me,
the way that I love you?
I need you to complete my life,
but can you ever understand that?
I wish you could,
and see my pain that is caused from not having you,
but would you care to see the truth?
I would give you the world if you would let me in,
but that seems not to be good enough,
is it?
Without you near,
I am nothing but a shallow lake of drowning emotions,
but can you ever understand that?
I wish for you to know my love,
please tell me that you feel the same...
