How do you get by?

by Amy Jo   Nov 16, 2008


The silence is what can save me,
but somehow you never could see.
I'm still waiting for you to apologize,
yet I know you'll never come to realize.
Years and months pass by,
and somehow I forgot you with a sigh.
But,
would I be wrong if I said sometimes I missed the fights,
and all your lies and those awful rainy nights when
I would run down the gravel road from you
only hoping to make you sorry too.
Sometimes the negative overpower the positive,
but then I remember we knew how to live.
I still hate the drama our fighting caused,
and all the emotions we went and lost.
You never touched me as softly as he does,
and unlike you he hardly makes a fuss.
He holds me at night and we hardly fight,
He plays with my hair and touches my skin
I have to say he's my biggest win,
but
there's never a challenge and I always win
that kind of love's been gone since I don't know when.
He takes the plunge and I'm always right,
Our flaws for each other aren't in sight.
and it keeps me wondering...
which situation do I want wrapped in
and who are you or where do I begin,
to start and figure out who I am?
Is this where I'm really suppose to be
Oh God,
this silence is killing me.
