Flowers Of Love And Tears

Better Unsaid

I once dreamed you'd protect me from the world.
From the nightmares and terrors, and the truth it behold.
At the start you'd embrace and surround me with your hold.
In the end you'd look at me, with eyes so very cold.

Though you claim me with all the strength in your bones,
I feel the emptiness, that's creeping from your soul.
Though you claim to still love me so,
You can only make me feel, both agony and woe.

I try to escape from the love you bind me with,
But I can never reach the door that you have locked me in.
Though it was not you who kept me stuck in this trap,
But me and myself who doesn't know when to stop.

Even after you cheating and leaving,
I keep going back to the very beginning.
When we're in each other's arms after each and every bickering,
I'm back to the start, when I can't think of leaving.

For years we've been together,
But I still don't know you better.
After all the sorrow and heartache,
Why can't I bear to leave for my sake?

And now I begin to ask myself,
How do you stop hurting yourself?
And now I ask you, as I stand near your bed,
Questions that would have been better off unsaid.

Do you regret the times that you cheated?

No, because I never contemplated.

Did you ever love me like I loved you?

No................ but I wish that I did.
