Reasons for doing so

by WrittenOut   Apr 2, 2007


Personally i keep it to myself
But you insist on me letting it out
I refuse most of the time
I would much rather let it be mine
Inside myself i would rather shout
Let it out i see as a sign of weakness
Let me see how long i can keep it within
Let me see how long you'll deal with it
Let me see how weak you are
I do this for a reason
Failure to do so leads me to "mis-placed" thoughts
Knowing you know what i know
I probably couldn't live knowing that
So bear with me please
As i strip myself in front of my own eyes
Only so you cannot see what i see
Because if you could you wouldn't be able to speak
Afraid to say the wrong words
Afraid to do the wrong things
Afraid to sit and watch you sleep as you don't breathe
I learned to erase so many things
Starting from the time when i first bit my tongue
I wish i didn't have to guess what you think
I wish i didn't have to guess how you feel
I wish you would just tell me
I should state now that I'm being hypocritical
But rarely do wishes come true
So i forget all those times
Where you looked me straight in the eyes
And said that nothing was wrong
When i knew for a fact that there was
But you have made an improvement
On both you and i
Little by little you lick my heart dry
But thank you for all that you've done
Ones that can compare
Well there really is none
So no matter how many times we agree to disagree
Know that I'm always here for you until i no longer breathe
