When you reach and cannot touch
An emptiness you feel
And when you speak and are not heard
Emotions can't reveal
The hurt and pain you feel inside
In someone else reflected
And every time you offer help
That help is just rejected
A hand held out in friendship now
Is like a stabbing knife
That will not stop and…

Love is an emotion which I find hard,
One I find impossible to discard.
Vital to me is the love which I give,
Even though without this love I would live.

Inescapable and yet voluntary,
Seems to be this love which happens to me.

Never do I know when in love I'll fall,
Extreme is my love…

Through the grass I watched them pass,
In rain and sunny weather,
At drinking trough and under trees,
With hoods and rugs and tether.

Never empty was their trough
For I was there to fill it
And lack of love they never got
While I was there to give it.

But things you love go away
And sometimes do…
