Jen H. Poet Lyric

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

Tyesha Ehigiator January 23, 2009 at 4:43 PM 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

Diane Christian December 22, 2008 at 8:30 AM 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
