Mind Reader

You say you can read minds
So you must know
The hate I feel
And the way you've hurt my soul
Yelling and cursing
Pointing out every flaw
And letting anger say
Everything is my fault

If you can read minds
Then you have learned
The ways I used to hurt myself
My memories should also be yours

Memories of cutting myself,
Forcing down the alcohol,
And giving away my innocence
Should come to mind

Instead, the real me
Sits right behind a string of lies
Lies I only tell you
Because I don't think you'd approve
Of the decisions and actions that define
Your grown up little girl

You say you can read minds
Maybe its the truth
But can you honestly read mine?
You just know so little about my life

I've thought too many bad thoughts,
Told too many lies,
Made too many mistakes
For you to not hold them all against me
At every chance

So keep lying to yourself
Just like I lie to you
And maybe someday
I'll let you learn the truth

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

Haunted

Sitting here all alone Thinking back to those haunting words I can't seem to get them out of my mind Wondering what they mean And why they were said I can't help but think the speaker hates me Or feel like I will ruin your life I never want to lose you But I don't want to feel guilty for holding you back I am scared that I am slowly losing you Worried that I am dying inside His words are draining me He is tearing me apart And doesn't even realize it So please talk to me Tell me it will all be okay Cause somehow I always believe The loving words you speak to me Wipe away my tears and tell me you love me Make me feel whole again Bring back the passion Don't let him tear us apart Alone, I am not strong enough But together I believe we can overcome Lets stop those haunting words That imply I will someday ruin you Or cause your untimely death So save me from myself

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
