7-28-10 Poem by Audrey O'shea

Sadness licks at the edges of my brain, your words flow throughout my veins, bringing to my face the color of shame, making me wonder if this love, to you, is just a game.
Before we came together again, my love for you ran like a wildfire, now that I’m here with you, within, to leave is sometimes a knowing desire.
Because the way you treat me, is sometimes unfair, and when confronted, anger rises and hurtful words you dare.
I do so much, and you just don’t care, you take away, and at nothing I stare. Can’t believe what I’m saying, you’re the love of my life, to God I’ve been praying, to make us connect, so that one day you’ll make me your wife.
But there are things that have this control over you, its got me awake with thought, that one day these things will come in the way and we will be through, in my throat that vision is forever caught, until one day I hope it to be forgot.
