When Will It End?

Three seconds and I'm gone

I don't want to be the only one

That you've ever had the chance to open your eyes to in the night

If it were meant to be

I feel like you and me would be we

And the nights that go on forever wouldn't feel so alone

But here I am

And there you are

Alone



I don't want to be the last one home

I can't stand to keep you waiting

If I'm the only thing you love,

Why wont you open up your eyes

And if you'll scream at me

For every time I try to be there

Wondering how you are and if you're still feeling so alone

I've tried and tried again,

But right here just can't possibly be home



Now if you hear these words

They might sound absurd

Hell, they sound crazy, maybe stupid

Not even I know what they mean

But I'm here, right now

Wondering what it is I fear inside

I think I might just be the man I beat up when I cry

And here I am

And there you are...

Alone



I don't want to be the last one home

I can't stand to keep you waiting

If I'm the only thing you love,

Why wont you open up your eyes

And if you'll scream at me

For every time I try to be there

Wondering how you are and if you're still feeling so alone

I've tried and tried again,

But right here just can't possibly be home



I have tried

To sort it out

To give it life

To treat it right

I have tried

To figure out

Where the story goes

From here, nobody knows

I have laughed

And I have smiled

I've had the time of my life

Could it be I was in denial?

I just don't know

Where the highway goes

Constantly in and under construction

Every turn constantly changing

When will it stop?



When will it end?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I feel like the time to start a new chapter of my life is coming soon, Just a little scared.

I like the poem...very deep....she'll open her eyes when she's ready...when the time's right...... in the author notes you wrote : I feel like the time to start a new chapter of my life is coming soon, Just a little scared. well you shouldn't be scared, that new chapter that'll open will help shape who you are...like somehow i'm becoming a redneck and i used to down rednecks basically, and becoming one is like a new chapter for me, but i'm allowing it to happen and not gonna be afraid cuz i know if i become a redneck then that's who i'm suppose to be.....or you can look at it this way, i used to cut myself and though there's still scars that may bother me and may be a mistake, but i don't regret it cuz it's helped me become who i am...it shaped me into who i am...it's made me stronger physically.....and made me more understanding.....never be afraid to open a new chapter in life..cuz it's gonnna help shape who you are.
