Behind the Silence

Here lately I feel
That all we've done is argue
So now when a disagreement arises
I grow deathly silent
And you wonder why
I wanted to tell you
Why it is I grow so silent
So now
I am writing this poem
To let you know how I feel
When we argue
Or have a small disagreement
Your voice sounds so sad
Hearing your voice like that
Brings up feeling
I don't believe I've ever felt
So strong before

At the first sound of your upset voice
I feel like my heart
Is being torn from my chest
And with every word you say
My suffering heart is ripped
Into a million little pieces
Over and over again

I know this sounds extreme
But these bitter words
Don't even begin to do justice
For the hurt I feel about your dispare
When I was lost in all of my tears
I couldn't find the words
To express all of this to you

Now that you've been told
The reason for my desperate silence
I hope you understand
Or at least forgive me
For my resistance to argue with you
I do not know
How many more times I can stand
My heart being ripped from my chest

I love you
And would do anything for you
So please try to understand
I'd rather not have you break my heart
For I know that is not what you want to do
Because I know you love me too

Why

I keep asking myself Why does he love me?  Me of all people? But then I ask, why do I love him? And why can't I see myself without him? Why has my life changed to revolve solely around him? All of these questions and I have no answers No reasons as to why I guess we'll just never know This raises another question How do we stay together? I guess because we know what we have is real I am sure you are asking How can we be sure of that? I say because of our experience and intuition Tells us it can be All of these unanswered questions Stir conflict from time to time But we have learned that after The things we didn't mean to say have settled And we have long forgotten The things we didn't mean to do The only thing that remains Is our love for one another And I believe that is enough To thrive on for the rest of our lives

Stone Walls

I used to be a locked up soul With cold stone walls Built up to protect my  heart I thought I needed them And that I was doing myself a favor I didn't want to let people in On my dark hidden secrets But somehow you slipped through the cracks And forever changed my life You tore down those walls Without even blinking an eye You somehow melted the coldness That had taken over my heart I've told you personal things That no one else will ever know I now realize those walls were keeping me From truly living You opened my eyes And now I will never be the same I am now the person I want to be I am the person Destined to spend my life with you And that is all I want to be You are the only think I have found Worth living for You own my heart And that is how I want it to be Because you are the only one To ever get through those walls And now I never want you to leave

Your Arms

There are times when I get frustrated With things you've said Or because of things you've done There are times when I Do the same thing to you I upset you just the same But at any given moment No matter what else is going on In your arms is the only place I want to be With a simple touch of your hand A wonderful feeling of peace Comes over me No other joyful experience Could ever replace that feeling of peace Nothing else could compare To the simplicity of our love You make me feel so very safe When I am in your arms You are my great protector Your loving touch makes it seem Like the world stops turning And our love is all that ever seems to matter When we embrace I feel as if We are the only souls in existance In the universe that surrounds us These are the moment that I will treasure For the rest of my life As long as I'm with you
