Victim Janet Kuypers a 1990 song every day I face the wall every day I must stand tall every day from break of dawn every day I carry on every day I struggle with the lingering past I had struggled, I had worked to take it fast every day I find it difficult, impossible to look at what we have and make it last time to time I shed a tear time to time when you are near time to time I stop myself time to time I’m filled with fear I try to carry on but it doesn’t seem fair when I feel your presence but you are not there time to time I find it difficult, impossible to look at how I feel and say you care I close my eyes, I see it too when I sleep I dream of you when I talk your words come out when I live I just feel blue I can see the scene, it flashes through my mind I can’t fathom feelings of another kind when I try I find it difficult, impossible to search for pieces that I cannot find I had struggled with the maze I had worked a hundred days I had tried to make it stop I could not see through the haze I had to accept what you had done to me there were so many lies that I could not see time to time I find it difficult, impossible to look at all your chain to look at all your chain to look at all your chain and still feel free Copyright © 2011 Janet Kuypers.
