There's Something I Have To Tell You.... Poem by Lesa MRK

There's something I have to tell you,
And it doesn't come easy to say.
I pray it doesn't make you blue,
To discover my parents feel this way.

They said you weren't right for me,
That you'd eventually make me sad.
They said they had to make me see,
That my feelings for you are not good, but bad.

They advised me to leave your side,
To exit with a last good-bye.
As they spoke I held back emotions,
Which threatened to make me cry.

My parents cannot see within,
This heart that cares for you.
They haven't seen a moment when,
I awaken missing you.

No, they do not look to see,
That glow within my eyes.
Whenever you are near to me,
They cannot see the signs.

Instead they think of that time before,
When another man broke my heart,
When my soul was ripped to the core,
And my dreams were torn apart.

I know when they think of you,
They are really thinking of him.
They cannot trust the things you do;
Their faith in you is dim.

So they beg me not to get too close-
Not to hand to you my heart.
That is what they fear the most,
That you may rip it apart.

Yet they do not look to see,
That every time we touch,
The tender way you look at me,
Says ever so very much.

I do not care what my parents say-
I'll stay by your side, you'll see.
They'll understand someday,
How deeply you care for me.
