Blackbird Poetry

Standing in the rain again,  Hoping she'll be back.  This happens when emotions overrun,  And she doesn't know how to react.  She leaves the keys on the shelf Telling him she's not who she needs Instead of talking it all out,  She chooses to just leave.  He stands there thinking (shaking his head)- It's like the time before, When he was sure it was something he'd said. She pulls the car from the driveway In a rainy downpour, But he just watches on.. He'll never close the door... He remembers she said:   If I love you, If I love you You'll see.   I've stood on my own so long,  I just need time to be.... But if I love you.... If I love you, you'll know I'll come back better Than what I was before. You need to trust me now- I know how much I'm flawed The tears streamed down her face, As he sat in frustration and in awe. But then she said:  If I love you..... If I love you y o...

I'm both your savior and your scapegoat I've never uttered the exact names, I've never known the correct words, Not until today. You've doled out punishment and expectation, Waiting for me to comply I did what was expected, Your plans worked every time. But you've always talked shit, and blamed me, For things when I was not around, I could never defend myself.... I made not even a sound. I always wondered, Why people never knew what to believe..... Because I'm your whipping boy and your angel, It's too much for them to conceive. You guilt me into thinking, I owe you so much more, You say you'd give your life for me....and I've always taken that to heart..... But when it's  my turn to sparkle When its my turn to shine, You make it all about you- ---Every time. You created me to deliver, Yes- I can get the job done. You take advantage of my sweetness... And you've kept me secluded and alone. But now I'm r...

We let our house break Only to resurrect it again We rebuilt the walls that were caught in the fire~ Destroyed by the wrath of sin. The house is charred and tattered But our lives go on We try to put the hard times behind us But the fire left us vagabonds. They tell us to protect our home By building the bond from within. To do so- we must understand more- Stop pointing fingers, and learn to begin again.  We have to give the other, The benefit of the doubt, To never go beyond not talking~ We must try to work it out.   To build a stronger house We must keep other troubles at bay... We must cherish each other and  Be the best of friends, each day. I know I hurt you When I got involved with him.. It was never my intention ~ It's something I'd rescind. To hurt you- was the last thing I wanted  The last thing I wanted to do... But my sorrys' don't  count for much now They're all so overdue.   But...

The elephant in the room Is watching me, And I wonder What else he can see? No one wants to admit  the reason he's there. Or that this relationship's  in complete DISREPAIR. You asked me to visit,  You were persistent-   And here I came... Way too consistent. You've always known  You can count on me,  I've never said no-  There's no boundary.  I've let you say things This has gone on for awhile And you say things Just to hurt & beguile.  And I came to tell you off Once and for good,  Hoping to feel  Much better understood. But today you just sit there,  Not feeling well-   And my mouth is kept buttoned Closed, like a clam's shell... As you sit starry eyed  Just looking at me.  The feeling of contempt  Disseminating in me. And I know yet,  I'll swallow this anger and pain,  And I'll sit here with you,  Till I finally leave again.  And I hope...
