“TELL ME”

The reason for everything you do.

I have nothing but questions,

All I want is the truth.

In the dark is where I’ve been,

Especially when it comes to you.

There’s a light at the end of the tunnel,

I’ve been walking towards it for years,

But it’s always stayed the same distance away.

All I ever wanted was to reach that light,

And finally truly see what was there for me to hold tight.

Tell me, please, why don’t you set me free?

Is there nothing there for me to see?

Is it time to let go, time for me to be?

Time for my light to shine?

Tell me the meaning behind all this strain,

Cause it’s driving me insane.

Why not just live and let die all the pain.

Tell me, please, just for this once…

Tell Me.

I will tell you – will you listen & adhere?

Been fighting for love, persistently giving, thru all hard fought tears,

You say you want to know, are you sure you can handle what will be said?

Some times in life words can cut a person, almost to the death….

Intrigued you are, and I’m sorry for the wait,

I apologize for not telling you sooner, yet promise it will be in time and not too late,

In love thru life, seeking to find answers I tell you so,

Some instances we may have to be kept in darkness, with reasons we’ll never know,

Please understand I too always needed to know,

Yet some other force guided me in different directions and in those directions my soul did grow,

Grew enough to feel without sight, enough to sense warmth of loving care,

To envision a life of love being held without despair,

I cannot ensure that what is said will fill the void in you,

If it will be enough to curb your enthusiasm, and show you life anew,

My dear love in time you shall soon see,

That at the same time your heart and soul called out – mine did too saying the same words simultaneously,

***TELL ME***

I will tell you, my love

All you’ve ever needed to know.

It’s been there for you to see,

Yet you were too blind and didn’t take hold.

The words you speak, I will listen.

But know that there is no guarantee that I will believe.

I’ve been in the dark for so long,

Waiting for the day for you to let me know.

Tell me now, why you waited so long,

Time was not in your favor, now neither am I.

Words can cut but actions can kill,

And let me tell you, it’s both that you’ve done.

You’ve cut me so deep, yet it doesn’t compare,

To the way you’ve killed my dreams and my love,

Leaving me beyond despair.

I wish you would have known,

I wish you would have told me.

Then I wouldn’t be asking for you to,

Tell me, please just…

Tell me.

When I was younger I dreamed of so many things,

Never knowing that as I grew – for me, love would be my life and world – my everything,

I always felt the love, as it was given, so now you say,

That you aren’t too certain or sure of the words I’ll say?!

Well in time I’ve shown you good, and its hard for me to believe I’ve shown you bad,

Yet how can you allow the bad and their actions to destroy all the strength and belief in the love we have?

I have watched you grow, blossom from seed to a garden that to me contains not one single weed,

And all of the things I’ve done wrong you focus on and in them you choose to believe,

So what say you now? What words will you speak?

I am here right now and have shown you that you make me complete,

My love you may think that you have told me so much before,

And it may be possible that you showed me much more,

Yet at the same time I too showed you and told you through actions that I love you so,

I am so sorry if I didn’t pay attention for I was so focused on building something that we both could be proud of and together we’d grow,

I hope you still love and are able to see,

The future in us with trust, love, patience, and all the things that shall set you free,

Please still love, and allow my arms to secure, protect, and love you strong,

Instead of telling me your heart is no longer even warm……

Tell me.
