i'm here...right here...don't you see me?

here i am, right here...in the shadows
waiting for you...wanting you to care for me.
the absence of you, your love...
tears at my heart and soul.

darkness falls as tears streak tender cheeks
i had tried so hard....so hard to get you to see me.
to see what was before your very eyes.
one to love you, one to care....
a bared heart and soul......reaching out to You

as i lie here in the darkenes....
alone...shattered....
my aching soul and tearing heart..torments me.

waiting for you...wanting you to be my guiding light,
life nearly breathless....aching for you
wanting your touch, your warmth against me
each and every nite i lie here alone..
waiting and hoping....
dreaming of you...dreaming that...just maybe you will come to me.

this heart that you denie so much, would truly have loved you
the silent screams and tears of heartache rack my mind
needing you to just know...
how i wish you would end this wretched pain...
your love and warmth would have been my light ...
the light through the darkness...that never seems comes

enveloping my soul...the growing cold and darkness take rein.....
i only wanted you, your heart, your touch....
to have had your love breath life into my darkened heart
to rekindle the fire that once burned bright.
why do you run and hide?

i just wanted you to show me you cared.
just wanted to smile, to sparkle and shine.
to know what it is to be loved...
and to know that my heart is still there.....
