Without you

by Kari/libra - Libra

A side of life will never leave
The part of life that I deceive 
The pain and sadness eats away
At the hopes and dreams I have today
I ask myself if this is all a phase
Hunting and searching for the better days
Keep telling myself there is always tomorrow
But I awake to discover never-ending sorrow
Never thought it would take me in
but I can't seem to leave this heartbreaking sin
Never knew I would sit here so long
I find it impossible to try to move on
I ache for the love and the caring devotion
It cradled my pain and my every emotion 
Why is there this desire to be with you?
After all the pain that you put me through
At night in my bed, I'd think until I cried
You always hurt me no matter how hard I tried
I realize now that I need to stop giving
get out of my way, I just started living

Reason for writing:

    I was in a abusive relationship for a year and a half with a guy who kept me down and depressed. After awhile i realized there was more to life then sobbing over him, but it was hard. When i broke up with him i first thought it was a mistake, but after he over dosed from over the counter drugs and nearly died after i refused to take him back, i knew i didnt need him in my way and i needed to start living.
