Time After Time

She dies each time you walk in the door
she cries inside; she needs something more,
than these things that you are giving
and this life that she has been living.

Her heart and soul long to be free
feeling these things; she can not be,
residing in darkness hidden to stay
afraid to step into the light of day.

She only wishes that you would know
she feels so stifled; she can not grow,
time after time she's cried her tears
you were not there to calm her fears.

She stands there rooted in the night
but strong she'll grow; each dawns new light,
and grow she shall like the mighty oak
her fears no longer will she cloak.

Someday ending her pain and this mime
and she shall live again; time after time.

me thinks its a never ending growing process...
beautiful but sad.... sad but true poem GS
one that far too many of us can relate to...
both man and woman.
well written.

I love your imperfections ... I love your everything ...
Your broken heart ... your broken wings.
