Stop thinking

by Beverly Chapman   Aug 1, 2008


Fighting with emotions
running through my head
my mind just keeps replaying
the things I've done and said
The years that have past
The hurt i have caused
The one thing I want
But have forever lost
Forever staying quiet
Hidden deep within my soul
the secret that is trapped there
that only I can know
i watch how much you've grown
and the things that you have done
but because of my own actions
a sideline seat is what I've won
avoiding these emotions
the thoughts running through my head
is getting so much harder
I feel my thoughts are being read
I can't tell you every day
What I long to say each time we talk
I cant reach out to touch you
feel your hand in mine as we walk
I lost the chance so long ago
To keep what we had
But each time we are together
I feel the burning twice as bad
I don't know why I'm writing this
as I cant cant share it with anyone
but I cant just keep this hidden
I cant not say a word
Perhaps I should just wish you luck
And cut our ties except for our son
because every time I see you
I fall in love again
I know that you don't want that
For I know the hurt I've caused
But the more and more I spend time with you
The harder it is for me to ignore
I've almost let those three words slip
So many times as we've said goodbye
I know I should just ignore it
Let the feelings go
But I cant seem to shake them
No matter how I try
I think about you all the time
I dream of you at night
I cant even be with someone else
Without wishing it were you by my side
I should stop writing about it
I should just end these thoughts right now
I told you that I still loved you
But I don't think you realize how much I mean it
So I'm just stuck feeling it
And hoping no one knows
