Why Don'T We Talk Anymore?

Why don’t we talk anymore? Why isn’t it the way it was before? It’s like we just don’t have 
anything to say, and this goes on every single day. This is not what I call being in love with 
someone, when you love them you show them that they are your only one. You don’t ignore 
them like they’re not even around, and you don’t keep saying mean things to them to bring 
their spirits down. We haven’t had a conversation in so very long, I always sit and wonder 
where did I go wrong? I don’t see why you don’t talk to me, when I want to spend time with 
you all you do is continue being rude to me. I can’t take this pain you’re putting me through, 
why don’t we talk anymore? Why can’t I get through to you? Every time I say anything to 
you, you make it seem like I’m just making a fool of myself, if I would have known it was 
going to be like this, I could have stayed all by myself. I decided to give you  chance even 
after being hurt so much throughout my life, I had hoped that one day you would have made 
me your wife. Obviously that thought is out the door, I just want to know why don’t we talk 
anymore?

Why Did You Lie To Me?

Why did you lie to me yet again? I always catch you and you’ll lie until the very end. You will 
argue me down to try to prove to me that you are right, but I know that you’re lying and 
that’s why we continue to fight. This will never stop until you stop lying to me, it’s funny 
because I always catch you red handedly. This is hurting me so very much, I guess this is 
what they mean when they say that love is tough. You promised me that you were never 
start lying to me, maybe you are trying to break us up intentionally. I don’t understand why 
you lie to me all the time, I used to be glad that I was yours and you were mine. I don’t 
know what happened between now and then, I wish somebody could tell me what happened 
to all the good honest men? You lie to me about the smallest things, you not loving me 
anymore is how all this seems. I love you so very much why can’t you see, I just wish you 
would stop all this lying to me.

Trying My Best

I'm trying my best to survive, it still just seems like things are never going to get right. I'm 
still trying my best to get over things that have happened in my past, I'm trying my best not 
to let all my anger and pain last. I'm trying my best to cope with things that are happening to 
me right now, I'm trying to see the brighter side, but sometimes I just don't know how. I'm 
trying my best to see that things can change, I try so hard but things seem to just keep 
staying the same. I'm trying my best to deal with my pain that I've carried with me for so 
long, why oh why does this have to keep going on? I want people to see me and accept me 
for what I am and not what they want me to be, maybe one day god will take this load from 
me. I'm trying not to fall in to the same crowd as all the rest, to not fail in my life, I am 
trying my best.

Counting the Days

I find myself counting the minutes and days until I can see you again, I pray every night that 
the lord would help me bring my tears to an end. I wish that you never would have had to 
leave me, I thought that you would always be here fully and completely. I keep counting the 
days until I can see your smile, my precious son, I haven’t seen you in such a while. I keep 
counting the days until I can hold you and watch you look up at me with your pretty brown 
eyes, sometimes I feel like just staying at home and watching my life pass me by. The world 
is no fun without you here, I just wish that you were somehow near. I’m counting the days 
until god decides to call me home, I sometimes wish it was now because I am so tired of 
being alone. I’m missing you so much in so many different ways, until the day I can see you 
again, my child, I am just counting the days.*

Someone To Love Me

Looking for someone to love and care about me, looking for someone that sex is not all they 
see. Looking for someone to understand my pain, for my life, I withhold alot of shame. 
Wanting the love that I feel like I've never received, wanting love but I feel like that will 
never be. All I've wanted is to be accepted by somebody, I don't think that God made that 
bad of person out of me. I know that I'm not perfect by any means, but why doesn't 
anybody care about me? Someone to love me, is that such a hard request? Why do I feel so 
different from all the rest? I've been stereotyped all my life, just wanting to maybe meet the 
right man that would be proud to call me his wife. Wishing that I meant something to 
somebody, all I ever wanted was for someone to love and accept me.*

I'M Sorry For Hurting You

I’m sorry for all of the things that I said, I’m sorry for sleeping on my side of the bed. I 
didn’t mean all the hurtful words that I said to you, all I wanted was for you to see my side 
too. I love you more than you know, all I wanted was for our love to grow. I never wanted 
for it to be this way, I hate the fact that we fight almost every day. I just wanted for us to be 
a family, I’m sorry for hurting you, with you is where I want to be. I’ll try my best never to 
hurt you again, I do not want this love to end. I never wanted you to think that I was being 
untrue, I am so very sorry for ever hurting you.*

My Precious Babygirl

My precious baby girl, you have been such an angel since you came into this world. You are 
only eight months old, but you’re so special and my heart is what you hold. I would go to the 
ends of the world just to protect you, there’s nothing in this world that is too much for me to 
do. I know that having you was never a mistake, and I remind myself of that every time I 
look at your sweet face. You’re a beautiful child and hundreds of people would also agree, 
I’m so glad that god gave you to me. I feel your pain whenever you cry, I see how much 
you depend on me when I look into your eyes. I try to be here for you the best way that I 
know how, I know what being a mother is all about now. My precious baby girl I will never 
leave your side, I will be here for you until the day that I die. There’s nothing that you could 
ever do, to make me ever stop loving and caring for you. You’re the most beautiful thing 
that god brought in to my world, I love you so much my precious baby girl.

You Never Loved Me

You never loved me or you wouldn’t say the hurtful words that you say, you treat me like 
trash under your feet almost every day. You never loved me or you wouldn’t always lie to 
me, you never loved me or how sad you make me feel would not continue to be. You just 
don’t know how hard you’ve made it for me to love you, sometimes I even find it hard to 
keep being faithful and true. It’s not like you believe that I am true anyways, you make that 
clear to me every day. I don’t think you really loved me from the start, it’s like all you’re 
doing to me is breaking my heart. How can you even say that you ever loved me? I don’t 
know what made me ever think that we were meant to be. It’s like you enjoy hurting me all 
the time, I wish I knew what was going on in your mind. I tried to show you my love but you 
were always too hard headed to see, but now I realize that it’s only because you never loved 
me.*

How You Make Me Feel

All I wanted was for you to spend time with me, maybe that’s too much to ask, I never 
thought that this would be. You act like you don’t really love me anymore, I might be wrong 
I just know that I’ve been through this before. I thought that our love could never go wrong, 
we have been fighting like this for far too long. I just wanted our love to last, but it seems 
like we just can’t get over both of our past. I wish you didn’t feel the way that you feel 
towards me, I tried so hard to keep together our so called family. You say that I never do 
enough for you, well I’m done trying then, my hard work from this day on is through. You 
say you love me but I can’t tell, when we first got together we got along so very well. But 
now all that has changed, you told me that no matter what you would always stay the same. 
You lied again like you always do, I didn’t plan on being hurt so bad by a person like you. 
Normally, my feelings stay bottled inside, because I can’t take the pain when I look into your 
eyes. You’ve hurt me so much, but for some reason I can’t let go, but that is something that 
I guess you will never know. I wanted for this love to be real, but these are just a few 
examples of how you're making me feel.

I Want To Be....

I want to be the person that you call your girl, I want to be the person that wants to give you 
the world. I want to love you but sometimes you push me away, how come sometimes you 
say some of the mean things that you say? I want to be the girl that you lie down beside 
every night, I want to be with you and hopefully make things right. I love you more than you 
really know, I hope that our relationship will one day grow. I want you to know that you can 
always trust me, and by your side is where I will always be. I want to be the person that you 
trust, I want you to know that my love will be here even when things get really tough. I want 
to be the person that you say goodnight to, I want to be with you until our lives end up being 
through. I hope that you will forever trust and love me, in your heart is where I always want 
to be.*
