Tribulations

In my head, I hear your words
"I love you."
"It will be ok, you'll see."
"I try not to hurt you."
"Don't do that. It hurts me."
In my mind I see your face
Your expression of tender love
Your bright eyes, like wishing on a star,
The twisting, melting passion,
That look of hurt when I've gone too far...
And I know
That you have no reason to forgive,
No reason to ever want to know me again,
But you walk back into my heart
And I watch you love me now and then.
You hold me in your arms
But my soul is drifting loosely
Without you there to hold me down,
I'm falling from the heavens
And I'm about to hit the ground.
I need you here beside me
As I pick myself back up.
I need you here to comfort me
Before we someday parts our ways
And I will forever let you be....
