I am tired of pretending that I don't care,
Of keeping silent just to keep you from despair,
Not that I do not appreciate what you did,
I just wish it didn't make me bleed.
I bleed for silence,
Nothing much but the distance,
Between us may be more of death,
If only you step back, take a breath.
My emotions zipped and locked into a bag,
My truest fear is being a nag,
For appreciation is all you should receive,
But first I need to forgive.
Myself? From changing, from who I was,
Not that I am saying you were the cause,
The comfort of being all alone,
Was once my place, once my zone.
Don't get me wrong, I truly appreciate,
From where I was, I needed to levitate,
Get my thoughts into one bowl,
Connect with my mind, my heart, my soul.
I have told you time and again, I do not know how to do this,
Either way you gave me peace of mind, a state of bliss,
I love you, I do, but all this confusion,
Has become so deep, I may mistake it for delusion.
I write from my heart, things I may never have said,
But this my mouth, silenced with dread,
My heart? Heavy with emotion,
Only you can understand, and you do with devotion.
My love do not get angry, don't read, listen,
You are more than a companion, more of a blessin'
I complain, squabble, cry, kick,
But your presence is enough, no need to speak.
I only ask of one thing, do as I say and as I do,
Because it seems a one way street, ever looking blue,
I ask this so that we may communicate,
Lets not fill our hearts with hate.
Not of each other, but of ourselves,
Stacking our emotions, pushing them onto shelves,
We are one, together we'll lead,
Our lives on a path, happiness, glee!
But dearest please! Talk to me!
Your silence worse than the sting of a bee,
Frustration is something I can't deal,
Don't you understand how I feel?
But I stay here in silence, hoping for you,
To show me something, all so true,
Before we drive all of this south,
Oh dearest of mine, Unzip My Mouth!
