Words I Never Said Poem by Doug Bri

I know I never really said it but I love you so much
I know I never really showed it but I appreciated your love
Your house was a beacon of warmth and a loving light
I was the shadow that embraced it
And even thou saying im sorry will never bring you back.
I never listened because I was very afraid of what I was going to say
I never opened my mouth because I was afraid of hurting you
But at times it seemed like you were never afraid to hurt me
So I locked up my tongue, hid my true feelings telling you only what I belived you needed to know
And when I think of all the times you've screwed me over I see that the shoe is now on the other foot
I still hold back knowing that nothing I say will bring you back
I hold back seeing how you treat me and how you still don't respect me
And the few time I see or hear that you do have feelings I question it by your actions
I just really wanted to turn our game of house into a real home ….
