Poem Number 1765

what's broken about it

winter colors the trees with quite resolve
your lost in sleep
a safe place for a while
safe from the misery that you live in
day in and day out.
.
I've been living in an illusion
for longer than I care to admit
living with you
believing that if I loved you enough
the wounds of your past would heal.
.
I think maybe they are
but your anger and hate persists
I feel them when your here
they arn't mine
but that's what you give to me
day in and day out.
.
It's time to face it
we are broken
this one is not up to me to fix
this one is yours to fix.
.
the words about hurting the one you love
that's something I never dreamed I'd know
but I've known that with you
I never wanted to know it
but wanting and what is often don't match.
.
what's broken only you can fix
you don't want to
but your the only one who can
because how you feel about me
is what has broken us
nothing I can do can change this
all my trying hasn't changed it
so this is yours to fix
.
