From The Outside Looking In
From The Outside Looking In
By Nancy Rodriquez
I have always tried to keep an open mind,
and I have never claimed to live in perfection,
as I search my heart and my soul, I find,
I am tossed into an eerie election,
From the outside, looking in,
thinking of how our love began,
as it is now filled with sorrow's sin,
almost as if we are in quicksand,
The more we struggle to get out,
we sink even further in,
through rows of anger and doubt,
stuck as to where to begin,
If love conquers all, why all this dread?
The tears alone should shout its misery,
Why should we cast aside our love as dead?
My head and my heart fight every day,
and I arrive at this conclusion,
I am lost without you by my side.
