* * ****** Everyday I Die A Little More*** Poem by Shelley L Baxter

Passion sizzles inside my veins
from what sources I can't explain.
To see your presence standing there...
to feel the warmth from your wanting stare.

(chorus)
Everyday I die a little more
When I say goodbye and...
walk out the door.
Yes, everyday I die a little more.

Reflect that it's wrong to feel this way,
from my head right to my toes today...
Lightening electrifies...goes through
the floor...only to ignite in me once more.

(Chorus)
Yes, Everyday I die a little more
When I have to say no and...
walk out the door.
Yes, everyday it hurts a little more.

Your Loving hands in mine.
Your kissing feels divine.
But your not mine.No...Your not mine.
So trail your hands back to your sides.
Just walk away and say Goodbye.
I say Good-Byeee...No tears to cry.

Because every day I die a little more.
When I say goodbye...
Walk out the door.
No longer will I die inside.
Fore now I know...
I have to say Goodbye.




I wrote this as a song in December of 2004.
