do you know
how hard it is
to walk smiling
when all you feel is pain
sadness and tears on your face?

I love you
not because
you're good looking

I love you
not because
you're caring

I love you
not because
you dote on me

I love you
not because
your smiles are sweet

I love you
not in lust
of your crevice
or orifice
or skin

I love you
because
without you
I feel

incomplete within.

Like the water must meet the shores,

I am yours.

I am Strong


because I have loved you for this long

because I am able to look to you with another

because I've spent all these days without being with you

because I still loved you even though you would not love me back

because I went through all this pain without you even knowing

because I wrote my heart out, breaking it over and over again

because I looked into your eyes and deceived myself with false hope

because I've had nightmares of you, believing they were dreams





and because  I Love You







Yes, I am Strong...

                                                  ­      
                                                            ...j­ust not Strong enough to tell you

                  
  
                                                                ­      
                                                 I Love You.

You ripped my heart in shreds
For so many years
I'm hear to tell you
I'm crying no more tears
I see no more love
That it's all over now
How will I survive?
Forgetting you, that's how.
I'm done with the pettiness
And stupid lies
Such immaturity
You get no more tries

He's hurt me
Cut me open wide
Taken out my heart
And destroyed my pride
I want to forget
I want to start anew
But I'm not sure I can
I'm not sure what to do
It's like my life has ended
The past eight years
So much pain
Not worth my tears
But I'm gonna cry
I can't hold back
It hurts so much
To see all that I lack

I have my doubts
I'm really not sure
I'll figure it out
I'll find a cure
For my broken heart
Unwillingly shattered
Torn all apart
Bruised and battered
I'll pick up the pieces
And get up off the floor
I won't look back
While I walk out the door

There's nothing
      I'd rather do
             Than just be
                     **With You
