I’m so tired

I’m so tired

 

 

Would your heart beat harder,

if I wasn't here?

 

Would the pain I caused,

scream louder if I didn't give you all of me?

 

If you never knew me,

would you cry out in midnight screams,

and hold my hand?

 

All of me is all of you,

in the sunlight…

and of the full moon you look upon.

 

When you cry,

it’s because I broke your heart,

all of these years.

 

I tried to tell myself it was because I loved you all of my…

LIFE.

 

In truth it was you, who heard my heart in your dreams,

all of me is all you wanted,

all of me was nothing I could give.

 

You reach for my hand…

it’s not there.

 

You reach for my heart…

it’s not there,

you reach for my love…

how could I give you something,

I haven’t figured out?

 

I am the one, who stole everything from you,

without knowing what I took.

 

I stole innocence from you,

I stole all that you believed was love,

I stole like a thief in the night,

and did not know.

 

I never knew because of the blinders I put on.

 

Was it the voice you felt,

the one I never heard?

 

You still have,

all of me.

Sometimes love comes harder to us because we've had so much heartbreak in our lives .Nice poem Red :)

Yes I guess it does at that.
Thank you Vidya.

[Vidya Bacchus]

You are welcome Red one :)

This is beautiful… a heart convicted of it's errors… a recognition of the debt owed to the one who loved completely.

Thank you Mom. Sometimes love can be like this.

You're welcome. It's rare that folks recognize this failing in themselves -- even though we're all guilty of it as some point in a lasting relationship.

I think you are right.
