SimplyAlive
I sit back quietly and quite amazingly,
And I let you run my life.
Truth be known, it's me you own.
Not expected as your wife.
I try real hard to stay in your yard,
And till the seeds we've planted.
It's really rough. At times, not enough.
For my love is taken for granted.
On life, I think back...I have such a knack.
Things left unfinished, undone.
That is why I sit and sigh
And remember what we've begun.
I love you, baby, and sometimes, maybe,
It just might not seem true.
You need to know wherever I go,
I spend my life with you.
I've such devotion...So much emotion...
it's frightening at times it seems.
Please understand and hold my hand.
Don't destroy my dreams.
I have a need that you call "greed"
As I struggle to make my own place.
So with you I fight with all my might,
Attempting to plead my case.
I haven't succeeded although I've pleaded.
And so, I simply survive.
I sit and sigh. Silently I cry.
I can be happy just being alive.
