Cold Lying in my bed Staring into darkness

[coloradodem2005]

Lost
I hear footsteps overhead
And my thoughts return
Again

Like a child who's run away
And won't be coming back
Time keeps passing by
As night turns into day

I'm so far away
And so alone
I need to see your face
To keep me sane
To make me whole

Try to stay alive
Until I hear your voice
I'm gonna lose my mind
Someone tell me why
I chose this life
This superficial lie
Constant compromise
Endless sacrifice

Pain
It saddens me to know
The helplessness you feel
Your light
Shines on my soul
While a thousand candles
Burn

Outside this barren room
The rain is pouring down
The emptiness inside
Is growing deeper still

You're so far away
And so alone
You long for love's embrace
To keep you sane
To make you whole

Try to stay alive
Until I hear your voice
I'm gonna lose my mind

Someone tell me why
I chose this life
This superficial lie
Constant compromise
Endless sacrifice

Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice

Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice

Over the distance
We try to make sense
Of surviving together
While living apart

Striving for balance
We rise to the challenge
Of staying connected
In spite of circumstance

All you've forsaken
And all that you've done
So that I could live out
This undying dream

Won't be forgotten
Or taken for granted
I'll always remember
Your endless sacrifice

Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice

Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice

1. your words are exquisite

my heart was broken three years ago. it was such a fall for me. he betrayed me, and gave me an STD, a gift that keeps on giving. i never knew it could hurt so bad. at times, it was not safe for me to drive. absolutely dibilitating condition.
im sorry for your pain colorado.

3. Well, thank the band Dream Theater for the words.

It exemplifies how I have been feeling for the better part of the last two years.

2. Healing Takes Time

After a while, you might wonder how you ever gave someone that much control over your emotions. You'll come out stronger; "good things come to those who wait".
PEACE and take care. It gets better.
