ACarSon Poem.........
That Place
By: Ashley Marie
make excuses to be alone
you try to make me not see it
but deep in my heart I know I can't
reach you.
You leave for hours at a time
never telling me to where like you
used too, you are afraid people
are turning on you and then you are
note sure about me.
I tell you I love you, you say back
but it still hurts, I say maybe it's me
maybe I should disappear but then
I look at you and I can't, I try to understand
but I can't tell my heart that.
I worry, I think about leaving
but you always ask me to stay, you say
it is you, that you need to find yourself
I tell you I will be here waiting, and I know
I will be forever.
I wish I was strong enough for the
both of us, like tonight you said you will
be right back but I know you won't be
I talk to your brother but he just say you
are going through some stuff, I want to know but you are so closed off.
At first I think it is another woman but then
I know it isn't, I know you love me, but why
can't I reach you like I used too, why won't you
talk to me, I worry I am not enough but I pretend that
I am indifferent, trying just to be there for you.
I just want to go to that place with you, to be with you
but I know you need time, and I try to give it to you but I want
you close to me, like it used to be, but that place
pull you away, just talk to me my heart pleads but my words
just say "go, take your time, I will be here." and I will be.
