Where Words Are Silenced

Love???

To be honest, I will never have words to make you feel better when you are sad but I can tell you what I do have.

I have arms for hugs

I have ears to listen to you talk about what ever you choose

And last of all I have a heart

But I wish my heart was strong enough to love you as much as I want to love you. You have made so many promises and so far you have not broken not a single one. Somehow I have to believe that you can keep those promises. It seems that in order believe that, I need to believe that fairy tales were not written for princesses in glass slipers, that they were written for women who have collected all the pieces of a broken heart. Not only that but a women who cannot put those pieces back together again.

Most nights I am down right ashamed of myself and I go to bed promising myself that I will do better the next day. I wish I could be perfect for you but I am human and I seem to fail quite often.

Sometimes I think that you want to be loved back and I think you will hear my case, if I present my evidence as if I am in the court of law. They will concede with your argument and I will have to love you the way you love me. Forever even and we will both be happy. Unfortunately that is not how it works.
