Through pain filled eyes I look at his and still see the love
With a
heart that is breaking with each pen stroke, I can see that his is too
Grinding teeth and clinched jaws, sealed lips, and tears pushed back, I stand
my guard
This thing that he wanted is now a reality and now I can see the
regret etched in his face and mine will remain still like a giesha's make up
not one line misplaced
Chattering attorneys and the works while he and I can
both see and feel real hurt
I will not give this time he will
I begged, I
pleaded, I apologized and he just continually lied
I cried, prayed, and was
very afraid
He was nonchalant and the words flowed from his mouth like minute
maid
Now he is the one who looks afraid and I'm waiting on better days
Glares
from his eyes like I wanted his demise but I keep my poker face and repeated
quietly to myself real eyes recognize real lies!
What I see now is truth but to
stop the hurt and pain I left that up to you
Too strong to admit he maybe a
little weak and too weak to keep his strength and stand on his own two feet
The confidence I lacked before
was given by you and the truth you so called spoke repeated to you isn't so
sweet
Now while sitting in this office papers and pens handy and all the
attorneys ready making deals and throwing threats, I can see your heart
quickens with every pen stroke and suddenly all the clearing of your throat
Waiting to see will you muster up the strength and courage to let your thoughts
be heard My stare glides past your eyes and almost straight at your soul
"STOP" is spoken slightly above a whisper...and then his pain
suddenly became mine!
