Confessions within 20

With you I’m like walking on eggshells
and I’m waiting on you hand and foot,
hanging onto every word you say,
taking your word for it
and being assured with every assurance…
And just like that you can easily hurt me
with your words, your actions
with whatever you say and do;
Just like that I’m reduced to nothingness
until I become so blue.
What you see is what you get
and so it goes and so it says;
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I never hide it, and I wear it proud.
I’m so silent like it doesn’t really matter,
though my heart wants to cry out loud;
Could you say that I was numb
when my heart refuses to feel a thing
and accuse me of apathy
when in truth my heart cries out for you?
And maybe this is just my way of loving you
through my own sick, sad, world & shriveled up heart,
and I wish you and I were meant to be
right from the very start.

I know love has its own time and reason
but what reason can I give to a heart accused of treason?
And yes I love you like I never had before
maybe because it never really happened…
But now I know I love you
my heart has opened its door,
And I want you to love me too
Like I love you, maybe even more.
