HERE I SIT AND WONDERING WHAT TO DO

Here I sit and wondering what I should write

Wondering how I should convey

What I feel and have inside my heart

And finding a way out of this dark, dark night

Here within my deepest soul, I have this flame

To which your darkness could not move

I see through your eyes the look of love

Remember the times when our love was not so tame?

There is a wonder if I know what you do not

And I wonder if I have the ways to let you aught

I keep wondering, pondering on my hidden thought

That if I left it untold it will be for naught

So here I am in a bewildered mood

Asking myself what have I that might be good?

Wondering on how to tell you oh if only I could!!!

And if for certain I had it, I promise I would

As I now know the words to which I am bound

And yet I sit her simply scrabbling, scrawling each word down.

Each word so plainly written

Are they all worthy of being written down?

The flame that I hold that is in my soul

Is a flame that I would somewhat want to hide

I know I should with uninhibitedness reveal so wide

And just let those words of Life within my soul roll

With the ebbing and flowing of the tide

There are things that I know, which you may not

At which I hold an inordinate and eternal thought

These eyes of mine see with love by which they have been bought

And now how I would stumble to make that love forgot!!!

And now it is time to reconcile this war inside my heart

So that peace and harmony to you I may convey

Then on this road of Life you could restart

I will be glad that you will be leaving I won’t miss your heart.
