Worse than where I started



Why must I feel neglected & left alone
Why is it forever that you have been gone
Why does my life feel empty and blue
Why is the answer because I don't have you

How many time have I told you I care
How many teasing dreams of you must I bare
How many days alone do I have to wait here
How many cries must I strain just one tear

I told you I hurt from the pain of distrust
I dismay love that was disguised as lust
I bite my lip to stop from mentioning it all
I want to walk away but fear you may fall

No I don't know if the emotion will subside
No we won't work out if both of us hide
No you can't see the things that will come
No it's not worse than where I started from

Shane Alan Kanode

I was born in 1978 in a small town in West Virginia. Now days I live and work as a PC Tech in Columbus, OH. I have always loved writing. I started when I was about 10, back then I wrote Rap music! lol But, I grew out of that and now I write mostly about heart break and love loss. Hope you enjoy my poems... more…
