“YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME”

IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT THAT I NEVER SAID,

I JUST FIGURED WHAT I SHOWED YOU WAS ENOUGH – WORDLESS,

TOOK CARE ME OF ME ALL YOUR LIFE DAYS I FELT WORTHLESS, 

DAYS WHEN MANY TEARS WERE SHED, 

WHERE SOMETIMES WORDS THAT LEFT MY MOUTH MAY HAVE MISLED, 

KNOWING IN MY HEART I MEANT I LOVE YOU DEARLY INSTEAD, 

RIGHT NOW MY TEMPLES ARE THROBBING AS IF A BULLET WENT THROUGH MY HEAD, 

THERE WERE TIMES YOU LISTENED TO THE BULLSHIT OUTSIDERS SPOON SERVED YOU AND FED, 

NO COMPETITION WHEN YOU LISTEN AND NOT HEAR THE TRUTH  – SOUND DEAD, 

THE LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU OVER LIFE I HAVE BLED, 

IN OPEN WATER YOU CAN FIND ME FOR YOU I STILL TREAD, 

THE WINGS YOU HAVE WRAP AROUND ME WHEN NEEDED, 

THE THEY OPEN UP AND BLOCK ALL HURT SOMETIMES WHEN FULLY SPREAD, 

THE HEALING YOU PROVIDE ME STAYS DEEP WITHIN ME – EMBED, 

AT TIMES I READ YOUR WORDS, BUT EYES ARE SO FILLED WITH TEARS I CONSTANTLY START OVER – MISREAD, 

WITH YOU IN LIFE I ALWAYS WANTED AND NEEDED TO GET AHEAD, 

I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOU, WITH YOU, ABOUT YOU – MY LIFE FOR YOU I PLEDGED, 

EVEN THE TIMES FROM YOU ME YOU DRIFTED AWAY….YOU FLED, 

LEFT ME WITH BROKEN PIECES SCATTERED ALL OVER THE ATMOSPHERE – EXISTING WAS NOT ONE SINGLE SHRED, 

WITH GOD I HAVE PLED, 

MOMS ALWAYS TOLD ME IF YOU LAY IN IT AND MAKE A MESS OF IT THEN YOU MUST CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF – YOUR BED, 

ALL I DO IS FIND MYSELF CRYING AND WAKING UP TO PILLOWS SOAKED IN RED, 

SO MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU AND SO MANY WILL GO UNSAID, 

YOU JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME…..

WITH THIS RING I THEE WED.
