you smile
i smile back
your image darkens
my illusions of you crack
the exterior of your body
hardens like a rock
you grimace at the phrase
"we need to talk"
i scream
you yell
i cry
you fight
you think i want to break you
your accusations are false
your pride and will are still intact
to my surprise
i'm the one that cracks
you bend me
shake me
break me
you've taken all my pride and will
i only want you to bend a lil
fifty-fifty until the end
thats what you said
but you give it all to your friends
i love you
i hate you
i just can't make you
do what i want
or give me time
even when you make me cry
or...
when i try to ignore
the problems i face
when i try to give you
your space
hoping that pushing
instead of pulling
will work
i say goodbye
even when it hurts
this is my last try
i say it again and again
but
love and hope
is strong
in my heart
making me let you
tear me apart
I'm showing this poem
no longer afraid
sick of keeping it to myself
even though the tears still fall from my eyes
and i still stifle my cries
loving you
beautiful
but so
painful
one look
you can make me laugh
on look
you can make me cry
one touch
one word
you can make me melt
i know with the good
comes the bad
the mad
the sad
emotions overwhelming my heart
i'm swept up by a tidal wave
you calm my head
you clear my mind
you are an untouched lake
to my
stormy ocean
you save me
you slay me
you love me
the one thing that meant it all
who knew you would be
my down fall?
