All the things...

Most recent.

 "I want to be your shelter, 

In the pouring rain."

"I want to be your medicine,

Whenever there is pain."

"I want to say I love you

Any time of the day."

Oh, the things I wish you would say...

 

Like, "Let me be your guardian,

Your demons, I'll slay."

"Let me be your wonder,

And in one place I'll stay"

And these...

These are the things

That I wish you would say.

 

~But hey,

I ain't gonna make you say 'em~

 

I wish for, "How was your day?"

With a kiss on the cheek

You'd say, "Remember your strength!"

When you knew I felt weak.

And these are the things...

If only in my dreams, you say.

 

~But hey,

What don't kill you,

Makes you strong anyway~

 

So just one last thing

Before I go on my way

I would and could never put on paper

What I truly wanted to say

It can never be said

You can see it in my eyes

My heart may be broken

But my love never dies.

 

~But hey....

But hey...

Anyway....~

I can hear the tune
This is so great! I love the idea of what he wishes she would say
I can relate ...there are things we women should say but somehow we think our man (who can't pick up dirty clothes) knows how to mind read......hmmmmm
Cheers,lea

What a song within a poem! A first read of your work for me and I love your style. Your writing is one of a kind, raw and there are no comparisons here on WC.

Totally enjoyed!
