Love and Hurt

Fear and Feeling

I brought it up,

The past we shared

As my heart beat blared

I was anticipating the words you said

And to my surprise,

Not scared

But it was as if my words fell on deaf ears

They did nothing to you

They didn't quell my fears

They made you mad

Which made you vow

To never speak of this again

And of all times to do this, now

When my heart was almost in two

It nearly broke because of you

But I promised you

I would never mention those days

Cause I never break my promises,

I said it was just a phase

And you thought I then felt nothing

Like the words you said weren't something

Something that could break me

You turn and forsake me

And oh, I felt, I felt it all

Those words dealt were just one more dagger to my heart

Did they matter

Now when we talk

What is said feels benign

I think you have crossed the line

You finally snapped something inside me

You happy?

The stuff you said

The stuff you thought didn't matter

Is only driving my farther

Soon, I'll be gone

Soon I won't feel and I won't fear

My heart will be as steel

It won't break

Don't you see what is at stake

If you do this

If you make me leave

I won't ever come back

Nothing you say again will make me kneel

And maybe when I've gone,

Maybe then

You'll feel
