Poem: The Me that hurts you
Couple Fighting
I'm still going thru a difficult season in my marriage with my wife. I often feel that the way I am consistently hurts my wife. Therefore it is impossible for me to be "me" without hurting her. Whether I am being sarcastic, attempting to be funny, or simply being the absent minded person I am, the end result is the same. To make matters worse, I am a horrible verbal communicator. Especially at communicating my emotions. The only way I am able to be 100% true is thru my creative writings. I wrote this song in one take as I wanted to express all the racing thoughts at the time.
The Me that hurts you
12/23/2010
[I]
Oh when
Oh when did our love drift and go away,
Was it apathy that took its place
A smile, a loving glance laced with I love you
Now memories suffocated by excuse
[PRE]
Will I ever see this place
Will I vacate this dark space
A place that keeps me from you now
Afraid cause I don't know how
[CHORUS]
How do I change me for you ....
How can I try to show you ....
Intentions were always to love you ....
But I can't bear to let me .... hurt you
[II}
Oh when
Oh when did I stop hearing your soft sweet voice
Frustrated indifference, I made my choice
(and) I just stopped caring instead of being true
To the words I promised when we joined from two
[PRE]
Will I ever see this place
Will I vacate this dark space
A place that keeps me from you now
Afraid cause I don't know how
[CHORUS]
How do I change me for you ....
How can I try to show you ....
Intentions were always to love you ....
But I can't bear to let me .... hurt you
[BRIDGE]
How do I stop me
How do I fix me
To make you see me
To help you forgive me
[CHORUS]
How do I change me for you ....
How can I try to show you ....
Intentions were always to love you ....
But I can't bear to let me .... hurt you
