Poetry: A million times

by Carissa Kane

Created on: February 26, 2009

A million times I've tried tonight, a million times again

Just to get you out of my head and just not feel the pain

Knowing that you're so far away, eats me up inside

And even though I try and try, I just can't help but cry.




A million times I've tried tonight, a million times again

To deal with all the things around me that life so oddly brings

But no matter what I seem to do, it seems just like a sin

Thoughts of you come creeping back, making me feel grim.

A million times I've tried tonight, a million times again

To fall asleep without any fear because I know that you're not here

To hold me and keep me and make me feel safe

Locked in your arms is where I long to be but I just can't get my wish.




A million times I tried today, a million times again

To convince myself that you're right here, that I don't need to be in pain

In your loving arms I rest, there's no need to cry any more

It's all come true, a million times, like a million times before.
