I Shake

by ChrisT   Mar 13, 2011


I've got this shake
Like an earthquake in me
With only my strength to take
It leaves me so empty

Hollowness is nothing new
Neither is this pain
If only you knew
I only break under this strain

The rain clouds are thicker
And I can barely feel you here
It makes me feel sicker
Knowing I only wish you were near

I remember when days were brighter
And smiling was all we could do
My heart was so much lighter
And life wasn't this crude
Feeling incomplete and lost now
Is nothing new to me
I just can't stand how
Or why this could be
How we lost this feeling
Lost everything we had
This isn't quite healing
And I feel nothing but sad

I can never quite please you
And it kills me everyday
I never knew what to do
Or in what way
So I'm begging you
Don't let me go
But I'm nothing to you
Just thought you should know
You were everything to me
And I wanted this so bad
I wish you could see
You were all I had

So my love this is where we depart
Saying bye to every smile
To my heart
And last to this denial
