Do you

byredsonja©


Sitting here waiting for the phone to ring
Wondering if it will be you even if it does
Stubbornness, pride, jealousy and anger
Packed into one big ball that is rolling too fast to stop
What do we do now to salvage what’s left?
The question is going through my mind,
“Do you even want to?

With nowhere to turn and my mind all in turmoil
I am left on my knees with tears on my face
Which way do I go to make things right
So you will take me back in your arms and hold me tight

As the years go by we drift further apart
Till I find myself lying alone in bed in the dark
If things go much further “WE” will turn back into you and me
And there will be no more “US”
I don’t want that at all but sometimes I feel that you do
I have nightmares and cry that someday you’ll be gone
Instead of pushing me away, help me make it right
“Do you even want to?”

With nowhere to turn and my mind all in turmoil
I am left on my knees with tears on my face
Which way do I go to make things right
So you will take me back in your arms and hold me tight

I love you more that life in itself
And I want to be with you, till death do us part
Can you tell me what needs to be done so we may
With time, commitment, honesty and love
Be able to salvage our love and make this pain go away
“Do you even want to?”

With nowhere to turn and my mind all in turmoil
I am left on my knees with tears on my face
Which way do I go to make things right
So you will take me in your arms and hold me tight

I say or do things even I don’t understand
I have feelings and emotions that I can’t begin to control
It’s so hard to explain the way that I feel & I take for granted
That one I love most….But you do the same if you stop and think
Sometimes you’re angry and even in your own mind
Do you know why, “Do you even want to?”
