Went thru two other choruses before ditching them for this one. About the same with the bridge. Some come quicker than others.
Update: Paul Harrison added music to this. Listen here: https://fawm.org/songs/133475/
GRASPING AT LOVE
You’re not a memory
You’re a bad dream
At least I’m no longer
Trying to swim upstream
You’re not a friend of mine
You are a fraud
Laying down breadcrumbs
Tying my thoughts in knots
[ch]
Grasping at love
Spilling my heart
Feeling alone
Trying too hard
I’m out of energy
Always in jeopardy
Grasping at love
Grasping at love
We were not close oh no
We were miles apart
Too bad you can’t see
How you made things so hard
We were lonely souls
On two different planes
I’ll face the cold truth
You let deception reign
[ch]
Grasping at love
Spilling my heart
Feeling alone
Trying too hard
I’m out of energy
Always in jeopardy
Grasping at love
Grasping at love
[br]
I’m tired of this ache
Making dumb mistakes
Oh, when will I see the light
When will life feel right
Repeat ch

Nice job, Kristi! I'd offer to work on music again but I thought you should have a chance to work with other folks. Holler back sometime next week if no one has offered and you would like me to give it a shot.

Great writing! I don't know what your other choruses we're, but this one is powerful!
