Unheard

I wrote something for you

That you’ll never read

Because sending it isn’t me

That’s not who I am

But I’m being pushed to the darkness

Where certain actions become so easy

I won’t be there one to blame

When the beast comes out

That no one can tame

Talk to Me

If you don’t tell me what I did

I won’t know how I treated you

I’d be ignorant of your pain

And maybe do it again

I don’t want to hurt you

So just tell me the truth

About people I genuinely care

So to your concerns I’ll be all ears

New Way

They took her for granted

So I can’t afford to do that

I cherish every moment

Because I know we can’t get time back

They didn’t tell her that they loved her

So I do it twice as much

The scars they left behind

I kiss softly

Forcing them to fade away

She lost her smile

And I’m helping her find it

It’s about time she knew

Just how beautiful she is

Freedom

She gives me the freedom I need

To be me

She accepts what I am with love

She helps free the real me

The one I hide from

Judging eyes

The person I keep

Locked inside

I never really knew

What it meant to be happy

But now…

I can laugh and smile

Freely

One Year Later

A year ago I got down on one knee

At that moment the world faded

It was just me and you standing before me

I watched the tears fill your eyes

And also the wonder from the surprise

I waited there in the sand

Holding on to your hand

Eternity passed as I looked to you

My heart beating hard in my chest

At once all was well again, you said yes

A year later and I still find ways

To love you more every single day

Our Love

Most won’t understand it

And that’s just fine

Because I’m hers

And she’s mine

No one else matters

We live for one another

And no one else

They don’t need to get it

There are no explanations to give

Together forever

We will live
