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

Do Feel

Inside I feel as if we are falling apart And I am the one to blame I don't know if you have sensed it But this is the way I feel I try to stop it You know I love you But I feel as if you are slipping through my fingers And away from my heart I feel helpless and useless There is nothing I can do or say To stop these feelings from coming But I guess that I should feel lucky That my heart still feels at all

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

Remember

I remember when long ago All I could do was dream Of finding true love I remember when long ago My wrists sorrowfully showed my pain As did yours I remember when long ago Life held no meaning I felt as if I was being forced to play a game I remember when long ago I felt as if my closest friends Were abandoning me I remember when long ago Alcohol became a dear friend As I tried to drink away my sorrows I remember when long ago You stepped into my life And managed to change all of that Later I will remember How good it felt For your love to fill my heart
