My Thoughts


All of my toughts, I keep locked inside

Not wanting to hurt you

Seeming not to notice, Your thoughts flow freely to my ears

My heart breaks a little more with each sentance

Wondering ,when I lost myself, Unable to speak truths back to you

I try to seperate from my feelings, letting your words roll off of my shoulders

Not showing the cracks in the Dam of my emotions

While a waterfall of pain flows from my heart

Not knowing how to repair a hurt that is untold

I scan your face for a glimps of the sunshine that brightened my day

Only seeing shadows of what had been

With each harsh word the brightness fades

Sending me into a darkness I can not escape

Longing to feel the arms that have kept me safe

They hang to your sides uninviting

I have nothing to grasp

The love I have for you is deeper than the ocean

Keeping me silent in my pain

Trying not to dissapoint you I struggle to hold my head above the surface

Not wanting you to see me drown, Still I say nothing

Hoping you will instinctively know to save me from the deep

before we are seperated by the vastness of the water
