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

To a lot of what you have written here - great writing, full of emotion- 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 Beautifully written - look forward to seeing more....Kaz

Thank you for your comment Purplemoondoll. There are so many situations in our relationships that we never talk about with one another even when it is hurting us. It seems that we are always hoping that the other person who is hurting us will just love us enough to know how to make us feel better when in all reality none of us are mind readers. Without communication we are all doomed.
