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

Just You

I used to think I would never need a man I guess in some ways that still hold true But there is one big difference I don't need just any man I need you Before I met you I thought I was happy I thought my life had meaning However, I was horribly wrong You came into my life and my soul You made everything ten times better Than it had ever been before You've made me feel Things I have never felt before You kiss me and I melt You place your hand on the small of my back As we walk together And I feel this amazing sense Of peace and comfort All of this to love and enjoy For as long as we live And you saved it all for me How amazing you are in so many ways And yet you remain mine And only mine I love you so very much From now until always

Pigtails, Cartoon Band-Aids, and Crayons

Pigtails, cartoon band-aids, and crayons Life was so much easier back then When we could walk outside Dressed in a striped shirt Paired with polka-dot shorts And no one cared Our mommy fixed our hair Bathed us, cooked for us, Tucked us in tight at night Kissed our foreheads to see if we were warm And made sure no one Hurt "her baby girl" Now we're on our own Mommy can't be there Every time we fall down Fevers and bad hair days Are things we have to fix all by ourselves Boys were super icky Cause of all the cooties They made us cry By calling us mean names And trying to kiss us When the teacher wasn't watching Now boys are irresistible With their muscles and their charm They cause our tears now By causing heartache And taking advantage of us But someday we will find "the one" As we all get older Our innocence and vulnerability Give way to often painful experience We are forever changed Pigtails, cartoon band-aids, and crayons Those were the days
