Strong Enough To Walk By Your Side
60
Strong enough to walk by your side
although your eyes are filled with
weariness, never knowing what
you've wanted all along.
Afraid of love, to even to hold her tight.
It is so simple to confess your love
it's as gentle as a white dove that
takes flight spreading her wings
lighting your way out of the darkness
that covers your eyes.
She's enough, but you feel so weak
hoping somehow she will walk away
hoping she will vanish way from your
life.
Weak in your heart you can never
say out loud that you care for her
so deeply.
Silence entering the room hoping
she will never notice the love
you feel inside.
Strong enough to tell you its alright
if you never hold her tight at night.
She'll never hold on, knowing it's to much.
You want to keep her at your side
just don't know how to open your heart
closing it up so tight.
Keep telling yourself you don't need her at all.
Hoping she doesn't stay all night.
If she does you might see the truth and the light.
Pretending you don't care at all resisting love
with all your might.
Wishing she never walked into in your life.
If she hadn't you wouldn't feel so weak
while you tell her so many lies to hide
the love you are really feel inside.
Strong enough her love you will always
desire wishing it would just someday
expire.

A lovely poem. Thank you
Wonderful piece of writing. Voting up.
Your poem describes how easily relationships are misunderstood. If we don't speak our heart's thoughts in truth we will lose out on building a valuable partnership. I think the fear of opening our hearts, as you wrote, keeps us from taking a risk on love. Lovely poem, Hattiemattiemae!
why can't he just speak his mind out, beautiful...
