Steemit Open Mic Week 76 - "More Than I Could Handle" (original) by @petrajordan

Well, Steemit @openmic, I made it this week, too, although just barely! ;)

Even though I wrote this song years ago, it very much applies to what I'm going through right now... Except perhaps that it's not snowing at the moment and spring is around the corner!

I can imagine that many of us can relate to these feelings at one point or another in our lives...

Enjoy!

MORE THAN I COULD HANDLE

When snow comes down
On the window pane
It’s been a year
And I feel the same

I walk to the room
And I light a little candle
It seems to me
I loved you more than I could handle

I tried to break free but I feel tied
Blame my thinking
But I don’t know how to stop
I’ve tried so many ways now
From the pious down to scandal
And it seems to me I must’ve loved you more
Than I could handle

You wrote to me
You wrote me about angels
Trying to compensate
For the fact that now we’re strangers

And if I believed
In their protection
Still they can’t replace
Your affection

I tried to break free but I feel tied
Blame my thinking
But I don’t know how to stop
I’ve tried so many ways now
From the pious down to scandal
And it seems to me
I must’ve loved you more
Than I could handle

While at the sea
I let the wind blow you away
In ashes of your picture
From my hand

I tried to break free but I feel tied
Blame my thinking
But I don’t know how to stop
I’ve tried so many ways now
From the pious down to scandal
And it seems to me I must’ve loved you more
Than I could handle
