Silent Footsteps

by Morgan   Aug 15, 2004


Your silent footsteps
I hear them again
I pretend to sleep
Righting your sin

You pretend not to notice
As a single tear rolls down my cheek
I search for logic to this
My face now lined with streaks

A feeling of not being good enough
With a strong emotion of fear
Impatiently, I swallow my pain
And wipe away the last tear

No point in crying now
I should?ve known it wouldn?t last
Pain is for the weak
And being weak is in the past

God! Who am I f-cking kidding
I need him like I need a cigarette
I wish I could face this
But I know I?ll try to forget

I?m too afraid to live without him
Or to ask him where he was
And tomorrow it won?t matter
It?s just something that he does

He makes me love him
He makes me cry
He makes me need him
Till the day I die

First I trust him
Then lies are shown
And lying next to him
I feel most alone

But I can?t bring myself
To let us part
Because just a glance from him
Melts my heart

Tell me, would you leave
If you knew your man?s sin
Would you leave if you heard
His silent footsteps once again

    i just want to say...i know exactly how ya feel...especially about that cigarette part. my boyfriend that i finally found after searching all my life for, just left me to 'figure things out' you should read my writing, "my thoughts". i wrote it right after he broke up with me over the phone. it sucks...but yeah anyways great poem.
