You'Re the Best Husband

Today I died inside.
I saw you kiss her.
Don't try to deny.
You kissed her on the lips.
I saw a bit of fire in her eyes.
You love her?
When you look at her your eyes light up.
As if she has put stars in your eyes.
The stars that I once gave you.
The ones you lost so long ago.
I want her to leave you alone.
But I see this cannot happen.
She loves you.
As much or more then me.
You love her, I see it in your eyes.

As I laid awake last night,
I heard you say her name.
Crying it in your sleep.
I'm guessing she doesnt know about me.
What happens when she knows?
Will she leave you with a broken heart?
I dont mean to impose.
I wish I could speak to you. 
I wish I could tell you to go.
Why was I hurt?
Why I am this way?
I can think but do no such thing as move.

Go! I want to scream.
You love her!
Dont waste anymore of your life on me!
She thinks I am your sister.
That you're just taking care of me.
You're such a nice brother, she thinks.
But little does she know.
You're the best husband.

Spend Your Life With Me

I cant help but wonder sometimes.
I know we're young, 
We may or may not even be in love. 
The thing is,
When I think about my future,
I dont see anyone else but you. 
We're still in High School, yes I know.
But we've been together since Freshman year.
Holding onto each other's hearts so dear.
I think about what my life will be,
Just what it'd be like, if you werent with me.
My life seems so dark and cold. 
I cant imagine what I would do.
So afraid that I could lose you.

I'm not trying to speak with rhyme. 
I'm not trying to make myself sound good.
Just telling you what I'm feeling. 
Just telling you what I think. 
I feel like we're meant forever.
God made you and I to fit together.
You're the other half of me.
The half that I've been missing for so long.
The half that keeps me going strong.
I just thought I should tell you,
That I love you.
I cant see myself without you.
I dont want to be without you near. 
I dont want to ever hear you say goodbye.
And I think if you do, I would die.
Spend your life with me.

All Great Things Must Fall

What is getting in the way of our love?
My parents, we both agree.
Lets show them, What our love can be.
We'll proove them wrong.
Show them just how our love will grow strong.
Here we are holding hands.
The day we know we'll last forever.
Saying I do.
While I rub my stomach.
A daughter on the way.
Oh my god!
Today is the day!
Here she comes, oh honey I do.
I love you more then words can say.

Now ten years later.
What else can I say?
I still love you more then words.
You still love me.
Our little girl now ten years old.
Two little boys, seven and four. 
Another on the way.
My parents still trying to get between.
Saying we wont last.
We've got to proove them wrong.

Now twelve more years.
Our first turning twenty-two.
Two reaching nineteen, three coming sixteen.
Four and Five coming on twelve.
Were did we go wrong?
We feel like we're falling apart.
But we know, we love each other more then words.
We fight, yes we know.
Teenagers and babies, 
Parents and all.
What can I say?
All great things must fall.
All and all we were right.
Love was the truth, 
We'll never change that.
We prooved my parents wrong,
Because here we are, 
Still pushing our love to go strong.

Though we may feel our love is fading.
Each time I kiss you, 
I remember when we were dating.
The roses, the kisses,
We still hold them dear.
Twenty-three years later,
You and I are still here!

Honestly, Truly, I Do.

I realized today that what I felt so long ago,
Has not gone, or nothing so.
It still lays deep inside my blood, in my heart.
I dont know what to say, dont know where to start.
I'm not quite sure how you feel, do you understand.
Does it cross your mind what it'd be like to hold my hand? 

I realized today that what was there never went.
Too bad that email was just never sent. 
I can't believe that you've done this again.
Rocked my world all over, I dont know when.
I dont know when I lost all common sense.
I dont know why I get so tense.

I realized today,
I love you,
Honestly,
Truly,
I do.

Proof

There isnt anymore I can give.
There isnt anymore I can prove. 
What you see is what you get.
Love me or not...I dont care anymore.
I've been here through it all.
I've been there when no one else was.
I cant tell you what you mean to me.
I cant tell you what you do to me.
For what you see is what you get.
Every tear that falls is true. 
Though you may think different.
It is proof that I care.
It is proof that I love.
It is proof that I want to be here.

You Throw Words Out In the Moment of Anger

What do you see when you look at the blood?
The cuts so deep you can not breathe. 
When you look into my eyes what is it you see?
The pain I've tried to hide from you.
When you look at me, are you disappointed?
Upset with these choices I've made.
When I look at you, I remember your words.
Cruel and heartless, until you knew the truth.
When I look into your eyes I see a fear.
Fear that what you said may be the last thing I hear.
When I look at you I see past the anger.
I no longer look there for the answer.
Where I find what I'm looking for, 
Can only be seen when you look through the doors.
I find your heart, and look into it.
What you say and what you feel, 
Unable to make sense of it all, 
You throw words out in the moment of anger.

I Cant Sing

If you think you can buy what I feel, you are wrong.
If you believe what I say are lies, beyond wrong you are. 
I'm real as real can be, you fool, dont you see?
I'm a girl, of only sixteen.
I still hold hands with my friends.
Sleep overs have no end.
I can not lie, because I want truth.
I tell you what I really think, not what you think will soothe.
What you want to hear, I cant say for sure.
But I swear to you what I say is pure, no lies from these lips.
Young and niave they say, 
They dont even remember the day.
I am smart for a girl my age. 
But I cant explain on this page.
What truth is, what trust will bring,
For that is one thing I cant sing.

The Voices In My Head

Have you thought of suicide?
Have you ever thought of murder?
Crazy as it may sound,
I've thought of both.
Is it okay for me to tell you I've felt this way?
I dont know why,
And sometimes I try to block out the thoughts.
But they keep coming back.
Telling me that they want more.
They want me to go through.
Do the things I feel that I should do.
Take a gun to my head.
Pull a knife on my husband in bed.
I know too much, I know that.
My husband cheats, and that is a fact.
I say things I shouldnt say when others arent around.
I curse out loud when my daughters are near.
I say things that the two year olds just shouldnt hear.
I cant help but think, what it would be like. 
What if I wasnt around, to feel these things inside.
Who am I punishing, them or me?
What do these things really mean?
Am I crazy, am I insane?
Are there really people running around in my head?
I hear what they say,
Telling me to stop being a baby,
To just die alone in my bed. 
I dont want to think these things.
I dont want to hear what they want to say.
Please make them all go away.
Do you understand what I write?
Of course you dont.
You dont know what its like.

The Things I Just Cant Say

I dont write my words because I'm angry.
I dont write my words because you're mad.
I write what is truly on my mind.
What I feel deep down inside.
It may not make sense to you.
But to me, my words really do.
Every letter of every word in every sentence.
They all work together in harmony.
To say the things I just can't say aloud.
To say the things I just can't allow out of my mouth.
I love you, you know thats true.
But when we fight like this, I can't say a thing.
Too afraid to say things I may regret.
Too afraid I'll say things I don't mean.
I can only tell you that I love you and walk away.
Maybe one day these words I write will explain.
The things that I just can't say.

The Way I Write

I try to rhyme.
I try to make the world read me right.
The words that fill the papers,
They dont always make sense.
But I know what they mean.
They mean to world to me.
I understand what they say.
The feelings I felt while writing them. 
Whether people feel the same, I cant say.
I cant make people get what I write,
Or even for them to relate.
I write what I write because thats how I feel.
I write what I write so I can unreel.
I rhyme when I want.
I keep a pattern sometimes too.
Whether I do or not, 
Whats it to you?
