         Choices\nBased On Emotion<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is hard to sleep with destructive feelings.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The love boat was torpedoed before it left shore.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The end results have left me reeling.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I keep screaming that I wanted more.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nights in white satin is not helping at all.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The satin sheets are cold.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just shiver and bawl.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would end it all, if I were bold.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was doomed to failure before I began.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My choices were wrong.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My heart rules with an iron hand.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is probably why I went wrong.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heart rules the emotions.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gets me into jams.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, I had a strong notion.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somehow, I should have been the man.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A voice is calling, I know it\u2019s not you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is drawing me into the pit.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s hard to resist. I must be a fool.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The voice keeps saying: \u201cJust do it!\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another night in white satin.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am still hanging on by a thread.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t sleep. I\u2019m not even napping.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afraid of what the voice said.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t go on, I\u2019m fading fast.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The path is clear. Right to the end.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time to hang it up, I cannot last.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I really need is a real good friend.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
