I can’t hide behind this veil of tears <br />And leave behind this trail of fears <br />I want to get up and run as I can <br />From this darkness I just can’t understand <br />Your love was lightning in a bottle <br />You had me going full throttle <br />It was more than I could coddle <br />Nothing was black or white, it was all gray <br />All the signs ahead are in disarray <br />We rode desire to a dead-end highway <br />We thought our love was strong <br />But we did everything so wrong <br />And nothing better came along <br />Heartless thoughts in our head <br />Are dangling by a tattered thread <br />I can’t take this pain anymore <br />I’m too tired of keeping score <br />We over played our emotions <br />Believing there were magic potions <br />Easily scoop them out from all the oceans <br />This fragile heart of mine <br />Is slowly showing a thin fine line <br />Cracking like an old faded valentine <br />We need answers that just aren’t there <br />Instead we’re digging graves of despair <br />It’s safe to say this love affair isn’t going anywhere<br /><br />Alfred Ramos<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/going-nowhere-4/
