Words Said In Anger
by Patt Paulos-Darrow
Angry words are out of your mouth before you have a chance to think.
They are biting, terrible and painful words.
You are hurting me like I have never been hurt before.
I am crying softly, while you take out this anger on me.
You are telling me I don't love you enough.
That I don't express any emotion towards you.
God, Blair, you know how I feel.
You know how I am.
Why are you doing this?
Do you want out of this, did I finally push you away?
I won't be able to make it without you, I know this is a fact.
I look up at you, and you are crying also.
Tears of anger, frustration and pain.
I finally get my voice and ask you what I did.
That sets you off again and you are getting your second wind.
This time it is more painful.
You tell me you don't love me anymore.
That you are tired of a one sided relationship.
That you were the only one that ever worked at us being together.
Blair, that hurts so much to hear you say this.
I love you, I love your voice, everything about you.
How could you think I don't love you.
So I take a chance and tell you how much you mean to me.
You quietly sit there listening to me.
For a while I am afraid that you aren't paying attention.
But then I see your tears coming faster and harder.
I know that maybe I am a prick for not telling you all this before.
My God, what have I done to you?
Can you forgive me, Blair?
Please say you can forgive me and we can start the mending.
I need you more than anything in my life right now.
You are the most important thing in the world to me.
Much more important than my job.
My family comes second, you now know that.
I promise that I will tell you things, we will talk more.
Then I whispered that I loved you.
You move into my space now.
This was what you needed.
I never have told you that I loved you.
I am so sorry, I will from this day on.
You are mine and I am yours forever.
