Will we Ever be Happy?

Never figured I would fall for this one
Thought it would be easy to let go
Never wanted to hurt this bad
Never wanted my heart to explode

Everything is my fault
I am the one to blame
Everything is my fault
It doesn’t have to end

I sit across from you
As the tears roll down
I can’t fathom the facts
I can’t discard the truth

I hold back from her
I scream with fear
Want to break down
But the distance is near
I hold back from her
She screams at me
All that I want
Is for us to be happy

Will we ever be happy?
Will we ever be sane?
Will you still be mine?
Where is this pain?
Where are the tears?
Washed away with the rain

   Bob, your poems are so sorrowful, but very beautiful. I feel with you.
   Living in San Francisco ? I used to live in Silicon Valley for several years, but recently have moved back to Europe. San Francisco, nice place to live. Hope you are not alone anymore...
