Dragonfly... A book of poems

I Hear You

I know I can be challenging,

I know I can be paranoid,

I guess that's just what life made me,

In that I had no choice.

I understand I can be a hand full.

I know it can seem like I'm waiting for us to end.

I just wanted to tell you,

I hear what your saying,

I am listening when you say,

"So baby lay your head back down,

Go on and close your eyes,

Yes, baby I know you tried,

Yes, baby I know your scared,

Now go ahead and rest my love,

I'm still here."

Everyone else left my side,

All I've loved deserted me,

I guess I gave up.

My mother guiding me,

Was all I knew of life.

You saw me there drowning,

You couldn't stand it.

You reached out and you took my hand,

Said, "Come with me baby,

I'll show you something better."

I just want to tell you this now,

I hear what your saying to me.

My heart is listening when you say.

"Yes, baby I know it can get crazy.

Your mind tells you I'm leaving,

I know it drives you insane,

When it's not exactly a fairy tail dream."

"You know why I'm working,

So I can give you everything.

And I know I can drive you mad,

And sometimes make you really sad."

"But you just look so darn cute,

When you throw a tantrum or two.

So no matter how good or bad,

Things might seem right now."

"Know tonight you can rest.

Tomorrow I'll still be holding your hand."

"So baby lay your head back down,

Go on and close your eyes,

Yes, baby I know your tried,

Yes, baby I know your scared,

Now go ahead and rest my love,

And know that I'm still here."

"When tomorrow comes,

I know It will be fun.

Watching you do your daily dance.

As your reality sets in.

I'll know exactly when to step in,

And remind you once again."

"To lay your head back down,

Go on and close your eyes,

Yes, baby I know you tried,

Yes, baby I know your scared.

Then I'll tell you to get some rest love,

Then show you, I'm still here."

Yes Love, I'm still here.
