Array ( [sid] => 45388 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Lost Cause [time] => 2004-04-29 12:02:24 [hometext] => ......sustain me in my fury........lock away my soul................dust off a place upon your shelf..........throw down the hand and fold..... [bodytext] => Lost without you
that's what I am.
Losing without you
that's always where I've been.
At a loss without you
that's all that I am.
Choose the fear without you
I'll take it on the chin.

So I'm left on unbalanced
and spinning far from control
what I wouldn't give
to just everyday take a roll.
Sustain me in my fury
lock away my soul
dust off a place upon your shelf
throw down the hand and fold.
You're always over there
and I'm never really here
never enough energy left over
no rounds remaining to cheer.
There isn't any room left
atleast not for me
I'm not hiding in the shadows
but you still refuse to see.

Lost without you
that what I am.
Losing without you
that's always where I've been.
At a loss without you
that's all that I am.
Choosing the fear without you
I'm taking it on the chin.

The work and your play
won out so long ago
I compete with too many things
what's one more for the show.
Failing in being too much
better learn to tone it down
no outlet left to give it to
I'll just sit in here and drown.
Loneliness has never felt this bitter
atleast not with you
after all my struggling
you've done all you're gonna do.
What more can I say
how can I believe
nothing's ever gonna change
and I'm always left to grieve.

Lost without you
that's what I am.
Losing without you
that's always where I've been.
At a loss without you
that all that I am.
Chose the fear without you
I took it on the chin. [comments] => 7 [counter] => 172 [topic] => 48 [informant] => jaeann [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Good writting. But you're not lost. I see you right here. I know things suck sometimes, and other's they could be better. But remember you can't love some one else 'til you find your love for yourself. I trust things will work out for you. You just take care and understand what was meant to be will be.
God bless you girl.

I think everyone has felt this way at time. You put it in words so well. The emotions were reflected through each line of the poem.

How I can relate to this one Jaymee....whether you are talking about your present husband, or the one before. I had a true friend say to me one time........there's one thing worse than not having a husband since I was a widow........and that' having one that doesn't love you!
I felt your frustration, and loneliness in this one Jaymee.......if this now, I wish I could hug you.
love you
