My heart would die
But oftentimes
Your words would make me cry

You say you love me
And this I do believe
But not for a moment
Do they relieve

Me
Of the sadness I feel
For a relationship
That makes my heart into steel

If I am to survive
I must not react
For your harsh words often contrive
To sting and exact

A price too high

I want it to be different
For kindness to be
The encompassing basis
Of a relationship with me

I want it to be different
Please hear me now
Before it's too late
Please hear me now [comments] => 4 [counter] => 244 [topic] => 32 [informant] => leslie [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry ) Your Poetry Dot Com - A Letter to My Mother

If death should befall you
My heart would die
But oftentimes
Your words would make me cry

You say you love me
And this I do believe
But not for a moment
Do they relieve

Me
Of the sadness I feel
For a relationship
That makes my heart into steel

If I am to survive
I must not react
For your harsh words often contrive
To sting and exact

A price too high

I want it to be different
For kindness to be
The encompassing basis
Of a relationship with me

I want it to be different
Please hear me now
Before it's too late
Please hear me now
