LINGER LONGER?

By Charles Robert Lindholm

Linger

with me

in the feeling

Linger 

in the glow

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO LIVE WITH SOMEONE WHO’S NOT IN LOVE WITH YOU?

By Charles Robert Lindholm
 

Why would you want to

live with someone

who’s not in love

with you?


it is a simple question

but I never could reply

I never found the answer

to the question why?
 

I stood in the debris

of bits and pieces

and memories

scattered about
 

I looked for the light

at the end of the tunnel

that I hoped

would lead me out
 

out of the heartaches

and tears

and unfounded fears

that kept looming just ahead
 

yes, time’s done it’s healing

though my heart keeps concealing

memories that hide in my head
 

the Dark Days have past

and I’m happy at last

but some questions

and memories remain
 

Reminders of “The Dark Days”

THEY ALL SEEMED TRUE

–MEMORIES OF THE PAST–

By Charles Robert Lindholm

 

I don’t know why

I believed your lies

THE NIGHT CRIED

-Memories of the Past-
By Charles Robert Lindholm

And the night cried
With a shower of tears
In torrents
When it learned
The truth about you
That you were leaving

PLEASE LET ME STAY WITH YOU

By Charles Robert Lindholm

 I will stay with you
As long as you Let Me
I will be with you
As long as you want me

How could I leave you now
That you own my heart
Our Souls are so intertwined
And they never will unwind

Chorus:
Let me kiss your lips
Let me touch your skin
Let me be the one
That you love again
Every day

MY TOUCHSTONE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

Why is it that Love hurts?
Even when things are going right
Being apart puts a hurt on your heart
that’s like being held underwater

Being “In Love” makes silence painful
a crushing need and desire to hear the voice
of the one that soothes your soul

Is it the inner fear,
that feeling of anxiety
from childhood when the lights go out
that we are really alone?

Why do I long to hear Your Voice?
yearn for Your touch
desire to be with You
wrapped up in Your arms 

You are my Touchstone
You are home to me
being with You
reassures me
that I am not alone

I have faith in our love
and it is strong
but sometimes
in the darkness
without a light
in the middle of the night
I need to touch my Touchstone
so I know I’m not alone
or in a dream 

You are My Touchstone
