You

Everyone seems to think

That I was mean as could be.

But I wasn’t mean.

I was just heartbroken.

I wasn’t afraid to put my head in the air

Or to face another hard day;

Nor was I afraid to be better than those

Who tried to break me;

But I was afraid to love.

I swore it would never, could never

Happen to me, but it did.

It scared me so bad

That I would give it all up to be free.

I want to be free from the pain; free from the heartache;

And free from all the questions that tormented

My heart, mind and soul.

I couldn’t understand that I wasn’t as cold

Or that I wasn’t as hard as I let on.

A man had broken me and that’s not what I wanted

But again, yes it was.

I wanted to love.

But could anyone love me?

My exterior was the perfect front:

A frown and a look that said get out of my way;

A daring sharp sassy tongue;

All a lie. My heart was breaking

And only I knew that.

Sad and unhappy,

That was me. A loner with no best friends

Because those that were broke my heart,

Even my family. So it was just me.

My heart hurt so bad I wanted to die.

But I knew I couldn’t.

My hope for life, my passion for love

And my dreams coming true were too strong.

If it wasn’t for those I probably would have been gone.

The best thing that happened to me,

I fell in love again.

I found my smile and the tears weren’t that bad.

Somewhere in the mist I stopped crying.

And my big heartache eventually eased.

That guy, he doesn’t know—but I loved him so much.

I hope one day he’ll understand and know why it happened the way it did.

He still thinks I’m mean as hell, but that’s okay.

It wasn’t that I didn’t love him.

I ended it because I did love him.

And I couldn’t bear the thought of us hurting each other.

No, I’m not as mean as everyone thought I was.

Now I am stronger.

I’m not afraid to love.

I know that the heartache will always be with me

But, I’m not its prisoner anymore.

I’ve accepted that loss

And now I’m free.

I ENJOY YOU

I’m constantly waiting on you.

Even when I know

You won’t be coming home.

Just the anticipation of you coming through that door

Makes my heart leap with joy.

I enjoy
