I have seen you cry and claim no love as your own <br />When from my heart a river poured in love for you, <br />A river that engulfed my soul, drowned me whole <br />And left me lonely, lost and limp within the nightmare. <br />Care to share with me a smile? <br />. <br /> <br />Deserted in a moment of dire desperation <br />Here I am, crying again, wishing the pain away <br />Praying for redemption only to forget that <br />Mine is the power to change the mood that sways me. <br />Where are they now? The friends that once were mine. <br />They have left me isolated within a spirit consumed by darkness <br />Leaving only sadness and pensive thoughts drifting in my world.<br /><br />David Lacey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/care-to-share-with-me-a-smile/
