You want me to be strong ------yet you stay so far away…

Don’t you know, if I find my strong,   you will lose baby, and not just for today?

My Strength means there’s no going back, and there’s not one more chance.

My Strength means there’s not one more time where I let you come back

There’s not one more dance, there’s not one more smile there’s not one more glance, and

There’s not one more mile.
Baby, you will loose for good when I find my strength….

So I choose to be the weak, for the remotest of chances

That you’ll wake up one day and miss what we had

And realize that you’ve left me behind

That you might just still want one of those last dances

Or eventually you’ll return all of my “lost on you” glances

I don’t want you to loose…. so I pretend I’m Ok…

But I am not; I am lost and  I’m tired of today

I’m tired of crying in the shower,

I’m tired of crying in the car

And crying anywhere else hidden, away from where you are


Yet, you want me to be strong -----yet you stay so far away…

Don’t you know, when I find my strong, you will loose, and baby not just for today?

My Strength means there’s no going back

So I choose to be the weak, for the remotest of chances

That you’ll wake up and see that you’ve left me behind and you’ve lost all your chances

This poem went right trough my soul!

"So I choose to be the weak, for the remotest of chances,
That you’ll wake up one day and miss what we had"

tired of crying.. I can relate

a cry from the heart, pure and honest

Well pondered psychological depth here. Well written too.

You know of your power and you might as well use it. His awakening to the truth will be your gift.

Love,
