I Wish I Could Tell You Poem by Connie L. Burchett

I wish I could tell you how I really feel without you wanting to leave.
I just want to show you each and every day how much you really
mean to me and the way you make me feel whether you are near
or so far away.

Too many years I have felt so alone and empty that I felt dead inside.
Then I remember the day that you came into my life, you turned my world upside down and ignited a fire inside my heart that I can never put out. I never dreamed I that could feel this kind of love inside again.

I look into your eyes and see all the hurt and pain that you have been through and a hollow scar that was left there. I wanna cry out to you: Can't you see I can feel it too! Never having anyone that cared
or that really gave a damn that you gave and gave and got nothing in return accept more heartache and pain.

You give and give until there was nothing left inside but empitness and sorrow is all you can find. How stupid and foolish they must have really been for they didn't even realize how lucky they were for you to be apart of their lives, which I know may never be for me.

Now there are no strings and no commitments that binds; a void of emptiness where all the hurt and pain abides. Now there are no feelings of any kind left to share; This is what you are telling me. Can't you see this pain is killing me?

I wish I could tell you what you really mean to me and for you to give me just one chance too take all the hurt and pain away. I would replace it with my love and I'd wrap you so tightly in it that you would never feel a chill again and I would gladly show you every day the way I really feel.

I pray that one day soon you can love me too in the same way that I have learned to love you.Then I will shout it from the roof tops so the whole world can hear me yell; WITH YOUR LOVE - YOU HAVE GIVEN EVERYTHING RIGHT BACK TOO ME! ! !

Your warm, gentle touch and the little things that you do shows me how
much you really care and how much I mean to you. I think you must be reading my mind and the unspoken thoughts that I have about you; but then you turn and you pull away leaving me completely Mystified!
