MY DESIRE

I clench my teeth my lips I bite

To drown the force of my Desire

I close my fists and blind my eyes

To quench the thirst of this great fire

With tired hands I wipe my brow

And shake my head, to clear my thinking

Yet, it's too late, I know that now

For want of you my Life is shrinking

I lose myself in crowded places

Hoping to see familiar faces

Knowing that it's too late, you see

For you've become, a part of me

I toss and turn alone at night

Wishing to have your presence there

And yet I know the sun again

Will fan the fire of my Despair

I've tried and tried to live without you

But it's so very hard to do

i'd rather face Hell with all its fire

Than have to face my LOSING you
