My Body Trembles Poem by Daniel Wittfoth

Chorus:

Tossed into--this loneliness of night
I can't take another moment
not another single breath
And there will be no rest
only the sound of these tears falling
One by one
constint lingering reminders of what has been lost
my body trembles

Verse 1:

I don't think that I can--take another step
within this solitude of emptiness
How many more times
will I be able to fake a smile
turn from view

Verse 2:

Well it's not enough--just to be getting by
see your reflection in--everything I pass
Just like yesterday
you have gone into yesterday
And no matter how hard I try
I can't get back time
once it has slipped on by

Chorus:

(repeat 1 x)

Verse 3:

When all roads lead away from you
even your voice that once echoed
becomes a distant whisper in my breaking heart
Softly everything begins to fade--like a nightmare
unable to escape
Taken captive--should I surrender
To these silken ties
that once held tenderness
now torn and ragged

Chorus:

(repeat 2 x)
