What We Say

You say that I'm not good with words, that well may be.

You say that I don�t know you.  Not if you don't let me.

I say that I'm invisible, my life was proving so,

But your angel eyes saw through me, now I can't let you go.



You say you're scared to hurt me, or are you scared to hurt?

You've been abused by men before and now you're on alert.

I say that I am different, I tell you I don't lie,

But I have broken promises and now you're scared to try.



You'll tell me that it's all your fault, but I don�t think that's true.

You'll tell me you can't love me, but I have faith in you.

I'll shower you with kisses until my dying breath

And hope that you will shower me with tears upon my death.



You'll find that I won't leave you, just give us due time.

You can bet that I won't hurt you, in fact you'll feel sublime.

I'll tell you that I need you, I'll hope you trust I do,

And in the mean time if you need me, I will rescue you.



We say we can not feel this way, it all seems much to soon.

You told me that I was the sun, but I know I'm the moon.

You should know that you're the star and I reflect off you,

And when I say I love you, you should want me to.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this for Heather, but it was one of those poems that was forced out of me be lack of sleep and an increase in fear.  I thought that she was going to breakup with me, and she really didn't have a reason to, so it made me a little bit angry.

Now this is a perfect poem!
Well done! I'm jealous of Heather, I wish my boyfriend would write me sweet things like this. I didn't think that this poem sounded angry at all.

This poem gives us all an insight of what you felt in this relationship.. and the best poems come staright from the heart. This flows well and really captures your thoughts and feelings.

I know this wasn't written for me, and I know who it was written for. You make it sound to much closer to you then what you write to me. I even felt that in the poem itself. Sometimes you make me wander Jonny...sometimes...
