You're Refusing Me (Is Confusing Me)

He has been gone.. for so long...
You know this old hymn, your song

But, yet I am  still, the one standing here with you..
Still  waiting and wanting  on you...

I know I could never... fill.. his shoes
Nor would I ever want too

Darling, I could never be untrue..
Never untrue to you

It was he that betrayed you
It was not I, but to you he was cruel

But, I can not help myself...
I don't want anyone else...

I still want you, yes I do...
Darling you know this.. to be true... 

Why don't you know this to be true?

You're refusing me... is confusing me
I know you still want him, you do...

Darling; just... as much as I want you
I know this much is still true..

Where did it all go wrong..
We have been together for so long..

What am I doing here with you...?
Sweetly pretending.. I am with you...

Am I, just you're fool?
That young man of yours was just a tool

You're refusing me... is confusing me
Why is  it so hard.. for you to see..

Won't you please tell me what it is that I need to do...
To get him out of you're mind has taken all.. of my time

Darling this.. just  is not right..
This long and lonely fight..

That I must fight for you..
I love you, Yes I do..

Please wont you love me.. tonight 
You're refusing me... it has been so hard on me

Why don't you.. let him go.. this very night..
He will never treat you right no not his type.

You are telling me..; In not so many words
That you will never be over him

But he is gone, long gone
Out with another man's woman tonight

Darling let us not pretend, please do not pretend
Darling this song of yours will it ever end?

No, not, with him
No.. not, with him

Darling I love you dear
Darling  please wont  you hear

I know this to be true
So darling let us not pretend

You're refusing me...
It is not killing me

That one deed of yours can not kill true love
But you can if you deny me the way you've been

Please do not let us end
Come here to me once  again

Darling I love  you
Yes I do

I will be happy to continue..
With you... if you want me dear I'll be right here
 waiting on you

Why just the other.. day when we we playing house
And the children.. were watching old Mickey Mouse

I saw you smile.. in such a way
Where is that smile today

Oh why aren't you wearing that smile today?
You're refusing me.. is confusing me..

When will it end...I once was more...  back then
When will I be more then just.. you're friend....

Honey I love you
You know this to be true..

I will always love you

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: U.S. A. Indiana, Valparaiso, USA

Favorite Poets: Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Carl Sandburg these I have read some And so Many More. I have no Favorite or any that I dislike. Whom I consider to be poets; of course there are many Dark and hateful souls, who would cry out and to I will lend an ear, but some. They just leave a awful taste in my heart that I can not bear to read twice. Let alone as many times I would do normally; as I must.
