Time After Time

by Shalako - Not entered

The depth of my love
Nothing compares
The thought of losing you 
Causes such a scare
Sometimes I feel like I am too close
Sometimes not close enough
I try to understand
But sometimes it's tough
The times we're alone
Holding each other tight
I hold close to my heart
And the thoughts fill me with light
I love the feeling it gives me
I wish I could make it last longer
But sometimes I can't
And the anger takes over
Each time the phone rings
Each time a letter comes
Each time I witness the kind words and hugs
It tears me apart
Yet only in my mind
To have to see and hear this
Time after time
I feel as if I am being tested
How much can she take
This heart can't take too much
It is already cracked and about to break
Each time this happens
The anger grows stronger
I really don't think
I can take this much longer
Maybe one of these days
You'll think of my feelings too
Instead of just yourself and your kids
No matter what, they will always love you
They know the real you
And it's different from what they've been told
I know they won't turn their backs on you
As they grow old
I am affraid to express everything that I feel
Because if I do, your love for me I shall kill
The love that we have
I hope lasts for good
The one thing I wish
Is to be understood
I don't want to be ridiculed
And made feel two inches tall
I just don't want to be the odd one out
That is all
No more to be written
No more to be said
Like you always say
It's all in my head

Reason for writing:

    At this point in time, I was going through hell with my, now, ex-husband.  When this is read, I hope that everyone can feel the emotion that was put into it. *s*
