Confusion

please tell me why
why you're packing up and going
on that train across the land
and so far away from me

please tell me how
how I can bring you back here
pull you in, sit you down
and tell you how little I fear

I'm losing you
to the wind
to the stars
to the souls lost in the dark
I'm losing faith
in your god
in your eyes
in the truth you fail to disguise

tell me, tell me why
why I'm still alive
without you by my side
without you here
to tell me stupid lies
I never ever hear

I'm losing balance
I'm losing patience
I'm losing myself
and I'm losing faith
in all that you do.
I tried to be a better me
In the end I looked like the rest of them.

    Sometimes the world is more confusing than it needs to be because there are lots of people pushing in and trying to do mysterious things.

    But usually if you talk to the people you need to, you can fix the misunderstandings I think. :)

    I wholeheartedly agree, but sometimes the other part doesn't wish to listen or open up. And then you have nothing to do but to try your best to respect their wishes. Even if it means you being miserable for the time being.

    Thanks for the reply.

    You're welcome.

    I think I know what you mean about respecting other people's wishes to stay closed, but it certainly makes understanding difficult! :(

    Maybe I'm just too scared to not be confused for once in my life?

    sometimes you have to wait until the other person is ready to talk. sometimes thaey have to figure shit out. abot 2 months ago my girlfriend broke up with me. she said she was sick and that she couldnt promise me a future and didnt tell me any more. ive been drunk for 2 months now. i tried to call to talk to her but she just wouldnt talk to me. but on sunday she called we talked for hours. then she called again like 3 times that night. she hasnt told me whats wrong with her. i asked but she didnt want to talk about it so i let it be. i was so happy to talk with her. weve been talking for a couple of day and are hanging out tomorrow. so sometimes even though its hard the best and only thing to do is wait. let destiny occur.

    That's a very beautiful story, thanks for sharing.

    And yes, I know exactly what you mean, sometimes you have to let people have their space and give them time to think and realize the situation. Like you said... "let destiny occur".

    Gah, sometimes confusion is just like a tornado; sucking you in and spinning you around and you just hope that eventually, the whirlwind deposits you somewhere you're familiar with and that some light will be shining down on you when you land. :)

    And sometimes, the other person is just as confused as you, even though it may feel like they seem to know what they're doing.

    I really liked this one, CodeRiot. It looks good and I like the repetition of words: "please tell me why, whyyou're packing up and going"--to me, it makes me feel the sadness, the longing.
