Almost There Marriage Poem by faith toney

why cant they see how this all affects me
they drag me along for the journey
up, down. twist around, im getting hurt all the time
I hear things they don’t know I hear
I see the way the love died
I see the miss communication
why cant they ever see me
I know things cause Im just the middle person
they both care but don’t put two in two together
I try and stay strong I want the past to come back
the pain will raise each morning
boxes piles up and go down
tears will run and numbers will fade
I will die looking into water of a dirty creek
but my souls stay alive with in the wall of an empty house
the walls and I only know what went down all those quite nights
no one speaking anymore
hearts have been broken and held together by a strand of hope
been cut in half by harmful words
love is dead god is here and I am left in a hole
and its dark, shed some light on me
let me see again who I am
what am I suppose to do
the shoes are gone
and memories come flying back
to the time where I used to take them and hide them away
and still you can see the bare footed man walking in the night
it was cold but still walking to another time
I am not the one to be asked what went wrong
my opinion is not to be heard
and my mouth is concealed with knowledge and will not tell a soul
for I am the one seeing my life pass me by
forgetting the worse it all comes back
a year was gone and at last I was happy
all is swept away with a shout
my love was here my love was real
was it I who never showed
