Is There No End?

By Kelly Elizabeth Miller 3/12/82 Age 14

Is there no end to this shame?
Is there no end to this pain?
Is there no end to the sorrow?
Will there ever be a better tomorrow?

Is there no end to these lies?
Is there no end to these alibies?
I can't stand going home every day
with you and I fighting in every which way.

Will someone tell me why I lie all the time?
Every day is spent with you on my mind.
You are the greatest thing that ever
happened to me. I pray to God every night
that things will turn out all right
for you and for me.

I have hope, you know I do.
There's nothing in this world
I wouldn't do for you.
