Silent-Pain

Little blonde curls, ribbons, laces and frills Her eyes are a window to a soul that is chilled She giggles and laughs, she bounces and plays Her heart is like stone buried in clay She matures into beauty that no man can resist Then he’s buried alive by her yelling and fits Blinded by love he pushes ahead He marries the girl he will soon come to dread She pours on the charm and he’s a fool once more Only to be verbally beaten and cut to the core Her needs come first despite his hurt and his pain He must die to himself for he has nothing to gain She believes not his feelings and nor will he stray While He sits and he thinks and his options he weighs Her attitude says your always wrong and I’m right He utters not a word to avoid a fight His heart is damaged and he can take it no more He packs all his thing and heads for the door She comes home to a note on the counter that reads I gave you my best and you ignored all my needs I loved and adored you despite your stinging remarks You stomped on my feelings and cut open my heart I can’t take all the pain and the hurt is too great An I’m sorry won’t cut it, it’s a little too late I took what was left of my soul and my pride I could take nothing more for the rest of me died I gave you my best and it was crushed into dirt I hope you never experience such anguish and hurt I am a man no doubt and my feelings are real Unfortunately, God didn’t make me of steel If love finds its way to your front door once more Give your heart and soul and be the wife he adores Remember that true love is not measured in time Love is patient & blind but above all else, love is selfless and kind
