Love I Feel For You

By Stone Bryson

I have a lot thoughts running through my mind,

and I hope I don’t sound cruel,

but through all this I have never been anything

that’s less than honest with you.

The roller-coaster we’ve been traveling

is starting to take its toll,

on all the things that I once believed

and all the things I know.

I find myself unable to sleep

when I’m in bed alone,

The empty room is more alive

when you’re here - more like a home.

It breaks my heart to realize

that you’ll never feel the way I do,

I’m broken down to a man with nothing

but the love I feel for you.

I had a lot of hope running through my heart

and I don’t know why its gone,

But your eyes had told me, more than once

that with me you don’t belong.

This trip has killed the child in me

‘cause I know deep in my heart,

I belong to you for all my days,

even if we’re torn apart.

I find myself unable to smile

when you don’t come around,

Without your touch, I’m sinking fast

and I feel as though I’ll drown.

I understand that I have to leave

but I know this much is true,

I’ve been drained of all emotions

but the love I feel for you.
