Yes that's me that you hear calling
those are my tears that you see falling.
You ask me if I'm ok
and what can I say but "yes"

You say you love me and of course I reply
but I've never once let you see me cry
for I am so much stronger than that.
I hate you, want to see you burn, and I can leave you anytime.
but I still say "I love you"
I'm still the one you need.

They all say "aww, what a cute couple"
and yes, I force a smile to hide the contempt.

You flippantly speak of marriage.
Do you know how much that scares me?
I tell myself I'll just say no
but look at where I am now.

And oh God how I dream of him
an image of perfect poetry.
My musical warrior forever gentel.
what the fuck is wrong with me?

I can't compare every man to a dream
this hope that I cling to with every ounce of strength.
This is my reality, I have to face it right?
And another tear trails down my cheek.

The sadness so can be felt by your words penned

Interesting. Though not an uncommon storry, I've never scene it in poetic format, but I think it works. Good job.
