Okie Girl

When I look at you,

I see my version of heaven

with all the stars that fill the skies

right there in your eyes

When I look at you,

I see my dreams come true

everything I ever wanted

everything I ever needed

When I look at you,

I see the sadness on your face

I hear the tears come falling down

the tears I sometimes cause

When I look at you,

I feel the pain you have inside you

I hear the laughter you sometimes release

the laughter I sometimes create

When I look at you,

I weep because I cannot have you

I cry because I cannot please you

feelings of ineptness fill my mind

When I look at you,

I know I have no answers

no ways of resolution

to fill your void

When I look at you,

I condemn the day I wandered in

into your life to complicate

into your world where I had no place

When I look at you,

I know no way to step aside

to leave where I do not belong

to put things back where they were

When I look at you,

I wonder how our lives will ever be

ever be the same again

ever be the way we want them to be

When I look at you I know

I cannot ever be with you

I do not want to be without you

I depise my life and the mess I have made

when I look at you

I wonder if you will ever forgive me

I wonder how I will go on if you don't

I know how much I love you

This is yet another very well done piece. The confusion and the love and the fear and the pain interweave into a very solid piece. You've captured an emotion almost impossible to put into words (for most people.) Well done!

I really enjoyed that I was left with questions, what happened, what did you do to make her cry, etc. Well woven story. You've done a very good job here, i hope things work out!
