Can You Feel My Pain?

Can you feel my pain when we meet?

And our eyes search each other’s

But it has no meaning?

Can you feel my pain when a smile

Arises from your mouth,

But shows no feeling?

Can you feel my pain when you pass

me by when you are with another,

But stop when we are both alone?

Can you feel my pain?

Lost In A Dream Of Love

I look out my window

And can only think of you

I can see your reflection in my mirror

And wish I could pull you through.

As I reach out for your hand

My mirror shatters in my face

I watch your reflection disappear

And leave without a trace.

You dream a million dreams

And they all seem the same

I hear your whispering voice

And try to call your name.

Waiting for your response

But I don’t hear a sound

And now once again

I’ve lost the love I found.

Heart Of Love

The heart of love

Alone again

Yet not always alone

The heart is feared

To turn to stone

As love is not

Love in the heart

There is no end

There is no start

When the heart once feels love

Love is always there

When the loved heart leaves

The heart is bare

Bare to be open

To be attacked with pain

To harden a shell

Is only to keep sane.

However, the shell is weak

And can be battered

When loneliness attacks

The shell can be shattered.

Another kind heart

Another kind soul

By being gentle, can mend

And retain the heart’s soul

If another shows love

The heart shall respond.

Only if the heart

Finds the other heart fond

One should take one’s time

For the heart to give new love

For the heart has to await

The return of the dove

Only then, the heart will open

To give another heart it’s love.

Misplaced Trust

It hangs like a heavy curtain

Over the love that’s in your heart,

And you wish that he could hold you

And never would you part.

You want him desperately to love you

But what he did before

Makes it almost impossible

For you to love him anymore.

You start to see him differently,

Since he misplaced your trust,

So you carefully guard your heart

So it doesn’t crumble away to dust.

You keep thinking that you hate him

But in your heart that’s not true,

And it’s the thought that you love him,

That’s making you so blue.

You don’t know what to do about it,

You don’t know where to go.

So do you trust him again?

You decide the answer is no.
