Sometimes I piss you off just to get a rise

To hear you talk to look into your eyes

You say I don't forgive you because I hold on to the past

I just never could be assured that this time was your last

I never got a warning what things were coming to

Even though I love you I just couldn't let you do what you do

My heart has had enough now and the futures up to you

I tried to fix things but to make it work it takes two

So if this is good bye now let me be the first to say adieu

Life is hard enough without all this bull shit from you

The first one I posted was an orginal. This one is one I found and think that many of the couples on here may be able to relate to. Please feel free to comment, post your own or post poems that you enjoy.

Open Heart and Ears

It's easier to keep silent

safely launching passive aggression

dodging an unsightly shouting match

believing her sullenness

clearly signaled her grievance

without an ugly confrontation

he should know it's not alright

he had to remedy the wrong

It's easier to complain to others

when facing a lover's squabble

rather than nursing the wounds

rather than nourishing love

it's entirely his fault after all

he fell short of being perfect

why should she compromise at all

It's harder to go within

to carry out self-reflection

to face up to her insecurities

to articulate her fears out loud

it's harder to open up her heart

to let him see the hurt and pain

it's hard to grow up at times

to deal with conflict lovingly

Afraid of owning up to

her sore spot and not

willing to be vulnerable

not ready to own up to

her part in the conflict

wanting to believe she

did no harm to their love

the fault didn't lie with her

Scared of his possible reaction

terrified he would take love away

she tried to escape and flee

taking refuge in cold fortress

driving him madder and angrier

the more she retreated backwards

the more he advanced forwards

falling into the abyss of misery

Arriving at a deadlock

both refusing to give in

yet refusing to give up

no flow of soothing words

to heal two wounded hearts

all dark and gloomy clouds

hurting each other even more

driving the wedge wider

The standstill drove her crazy

came the time she had to decide

what truly meant more to her

was it the heart or the pride

to open up and risk further wounds

or to bottle up and wait it out

for the storm to go away quietly

closing another door upon love

She hoped to open doors to love

not to cause another to be closed

hot tears stained her cheeks

somehow the tears comforted her

slowly peering within she found

a core of strength arising

she courageously decided then

to open up her heart and ears

Opening up her heart to him

she showed him her pain her fears

finally meaning what she said

ending her confession with

the deep love she felt for him

her open heart thawed his hardness

taking a smiliar move to hers

he spoke from deep within him

and she was all ears

open hearts and open ears

Taking in his hurt his pain

and the love he had for her

eradicating the blaming game

both gained newfound wisdom

forming a hope-filled bridge

leading them into each other's

heart and new understanding

their passion returned once again

Go into love with open heart and ears

holding the sincere wish to

bring out the best in one another

not seeking to diminish or trample

upon the sacred love that comes

mend any strain readily and quickly

mend it good and with forgiveness

let each other listen and be listened

let love flow through barriers

let your heart and ears be opened

Trust and fear

Trust is knowing your interest is always protected

The truth is the truth no matter how it's dissected

Trust is to be able to fall and know you will have help to get back up

It is the hand that holds your hair when you need to throw up

Trust is to know that if you cried

Your partner would be there, right by your side

Trust is to be able to get away

Without ever wondering what your partner may do or say

Trust is to know that if you loan money

It will be spent where it's supposed to be, nothing funny

Trust is to know if your hurt or sick

Your partner will come, and come quick

Trust it is the absence of fear

Never worried that your partner may one day disappear

Fear is a sickness brewed in the weak

A petrifing feeling, keeping you meek

Fear is an absence of faith

A feeling that your love may be replaced

Trust and fears relationship is inverse

Only with trust is it safe to traverse

When the trust goes down, the fear increases

It will shatter a man and leave him in pieces

So if you love your partner make sure they trust you

If you don't you may turn around to find it's just you

I don''t know if anyone else on here has done some writing to help you get through these trying times in life, but I''m sure there are. Please feel free to post on this topic maybe it will be able to help others work through their feelings. I know I have this labled poems but if you have any short stories or journal entries you think may help please feel free to post them too. Well I''m ready to call it a night, but first a poem I just finished I hope you like it and it helps too!

I''m having trouble

Im having trouble falling asleep

Wondering what secrets you still keep

Wondering if you can ever stay true

Driving myself crazy trying to figure out what to do

I''m having trouble controlling my thoughts

Wondering what you would be doing if you never got caught

I want to be able to have true reconciliation

I just never want to relive that humiliation

I''m having trouble trusting you

After what we have been through, I know what you can do

I want to see that your doing things to become better

Like seeing a counciler and being a go getter

I''m having trouble supporting our household

You need a job, I don''t mean to be cold

I need you contributing to the buget, not just the bills

I am thankful though, that you have got off the pills

I''m having trouble getting over this

You hurt me so deep, damn right I''m pissed

I want you to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth

It doesn''t matter what you say, as long as there's proof

I''m having trouble giving you proper recognition

I want to do what it takes to heal this division

It nice to come home to a fresh cooked meal

The house stays clean now, it''s a pretty good deal

I''m having trouble with this reconciliation

My wheels just keep spinning, is my aggravation

I want it to matter all the work that you do

Because in the end, I still love you

Here is another one. I hope you enjoy and please you are more than welcome to comment or post your own. If not I will post here every so often just to keep it alive.

I WANT

I want to write a love poem for you

I want it to come from my heart

I want it to bring tears to your eyes

I just don't know where to start

I want you to succeed in life

I'm getting tired of things falling apart

I wish I had the trust that we need

But when I know your still lieing it breaks my heart

I want to see you through your addiction

I want to be there through the ups and the downs

I want us to spend our forever together

To be there for each other, even when no one else can be found

I want to see you get a job that has a future

One that won't break your back

One that has great health insurance

And everything else the others have lacked

I want us to find some great friends

Ones that won't cross the line

Ones that are fun to be with

Ones that are yours as well as mine

I want a four bedroom house

One with a two car garage

One with closets you can get lost in

So beautiful people would think it's a mirage

I want all these things

There are a few I didn't mention too

I want all these things

But the only thing I need is you
