Hiding Tears From My Face

I’ve been waiting I’ve been patient I’ve been hoping I’ve been praying I asked you one day And I’ve had to wait I’ve let you have Your time to think But now I need to know the truth Tell me your answer, so I can move on You tell me no… I might have expected I say it’s alright And pretend I don’t mind You don’t even know I am really screaming I am crying out for help I hide my tears from my face But they are found by my heart I have lied For your sake It’s not your fault You don’t like me I guess I just wasn’t Good enough for you And now I have to deal With all of this pain I try desperately to repair This hole in my heart But everyday I see you A new wound is revealed And the hole just gets bigger; Maybe one day I will find the guy To fill up my hole with love And repair the damage That you caused And you didn’t even know

So much sadness is revealed here, I know what it is like to hold on to someone that doesn't want to be held on to or just likes to play games, You are better off letting him go and waiting on the lord to send you someone who will truly realize how beautiful and special you are. Don't give him power over you..Stay strong and remember you are somebody wonderful..Great Write..Congratulations on being featured this week..God Bless * Tyesha

this is a good but sad poem, some men just are not worth the pain, my X left me after 13 years and I just said fine byee as he tried to make me choose him or my son so i chose my son obviously no question about that, and I let him go, it was his great loss as I got maried last year been maried 8 months now and me and my kids are doing just fine with my new husband, God is a great healer a great comforter and he always has something even better just waiting round the corner for us. God bless you
