From: sienna@yabbs To: all@yabbs Subject: A Poem I Wrote Date: Thu Aug 18 15:19:09 1994 Ok....here is a poem/song that I wrote about two and a half years ago...but sometimes I am amazed at how apropos some of these old lyrics/poems are in the scheme of things today... WHERE ARE YOU NOW? ------------------ I knew someday the choices I've made would catch up to me. And as I watch you walk on by, I realize it's come to be. If only I could show you how much I really cared; If only you'd understand that I've been running scared. You see, I've grown up looking through a glass wall; Everytime I tried to break through, I only seemed to fall. My hands are beating against the glass like the rain; If I hold my heart tightly, I won't feel the pain. And I'm walking alone, Where are you now? All the empty words were the shadow of a promise somehow. And I'm walking alone, Where are you now? I believed you when you promised that your love would never end. You said we're less than lovers, a little more than friends. I never meant to cause you any sorrow or any pain; But the way you showed your love was slowly driving me insane. I know I promised never to tell a living soul, But I held it in too long, I had to let it go. You never really cared, and it took so much from me; To keep pretending an living a lie that could never set me free. And I'm walking alone, Where are you now? All the empty words were the shadow of a promise somehow. And I'm walking alone, Where are you now? March 2, 1992 Written in Clermont Mercy Hospital Written originally for Tim Newberry Enjoi, Dee
