Poem
Just a moment ago there was laughter The aching longing had since past When you walked into the room My heart simply gasped You were everything I was missing There was no room left for denial I leapt across the room To be in your arms for just a short while And while I was there my heart felt full In my eyes you shined like a jewel A warmth spread through me like wild fire Leaving happiness to chance and desire We abandoned joy once we left through the door Harsh words snapped against teeth Pride wounded and tempers flared We drove in silence tires screeching If we fought we didn't care You ignored my words and explanations While I clung to my seat I ignored yours and began to retreat Into my mind away from the world Away from the pain and the anger burning red Wondering if I should just expect you to bite off my head When you finally cool off you say sorry But my hope falls flat on your apology I curse all the reasons and my refusal to give in I bury the tears in my eyes and hate the stubbornness in my head Only remembering the memories of another life Where I gave in every night to the fight Sorry became just another word Love didn't give a care in the world I watched the flames die and turn into embers The embers fade in the cold of December I watched love die and swore Id never give in Then you caught my heart and made me love again And we've been fighting - Dividing Well, I don't want to let you go And if I still sound angry It may be because I'm scared as hell Praying we weren't better off friends Praying that our love will fare Better than the rest of the world I act like a tough woman but I have the heart of a fragile little girl
