Where you went

Loneliness, my favorite subject, well perhaps more obsession really.

The fog closes in around

Sometimes I feel so alone

I just watch my feet touch ground.

Walk the ache out of my heart

my life twists and then turns

I wanted you to be a part

and still my heart, it yearns.

I'd turn my soul out to you

I'd climb until I was spent

Anything to make it true:

where I'm going is where you went.

Dusty roads, long turnpike rides

Feeling the wind blow me 'round

This feeling I hold still hides

then jumps out to put me down.

I'm tired of just coping

though I still got my smile.

Thinking of you and hoping

We'll be one for more than awhile.

"Walk the ache out of my heart" i love that. very rythmic and straight-shot meaning both in front of and between and beneath that line.

Thanks Mandy, glad you liked it :)

It sounds like an on off relationship. that you hate to be away from the person, but you are right now, and hoping it lasts. great read.

[Mark]

perceptive... she and I are good friends still, and I suppose I would still want it to be more but I've moved on. Life is too short to stand still for anyone :)

So sad Mark! I love the first and second verses particularly. The last line puzzles me because it sounds like you are still with this person.

Well, there was that possibility when this was written. It's about 2 years old.

Hi Mark, Felt very poignant. Lonliness is something many of us in the Cafe feel and it is why we have so much time to be here. It sure as hell is not the waitress service or the coffee and pancakes!!! Liked the line 'Walk the ache out of my heart'
