Why Not Me...?

Robert Catron 1963 (Kansas)



Some days are good, some days are bad,
Wish I could feel all the love I've had.
Sometimes it's hard to see thru the pain,
All of the memories they still remain.
Life seems cold much like a clone,
At times all I feel is simply alone.
Gave all of my heart left none for me,
Does anyone know my pain, can they see?
Doesn't anyone understand my heart,
I gave it all away, every last part.
Just to be loved for being myself,
Not one sided or put up on a shelf.
Someone who gives as much as I do,
Are you out there, is love really true?
