There's something I have to tell you, <br />And it doesn't come easy to say. <br />I pray it doesn't make you blue, <br />To discover my parents feel this way. <br /> <br />They said you weren't right for me, <br />That you'd eventually make me sad. <br />They said they had to make me see, <br />That my feelings for you are not good, but bad. <br /> <br />They advised me to leave your side, <br />To exit with a last good-bye. <br />As they spoke I held back emotions, <br />Which threatened to make me cry. <br /> <br />My parents cannot see within, <br />This heart that cares for you. <br />They haven't seen a moment when, <br />I awaken missing you. <br /> <br />No, they do not look to see, <br />That glow within my eyes. <br />Whenever you are near to me, <br />They cannot see the signs. <br /> <br />Instead they think of that time before, <br />When another man broke my heart, <br />When my soul was ripped to the core, <br />And my dreams were torn apart. <br /> <br />I know when they think of you, <br />They are really thinking of him. <br />They cannot trust the things you do; <br />Their faith in you is dim. <br /> <br />So they beg me not to get too close- <br />Not to hand to you my heart. <br />That is what they fear the most, <br />That you may rip it apart. <br /> <br />Yet they do not look to see, <br />That every time we touch, <br />The tender way you look at me, <br />Says ever so very much. <br /> <br />I do not care what my parents say- <br />I'll stay by your side, you'll see. <br />They'll understand someday, <br />How deeply you care for me.<br /><br />Lesa MRK<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-s-something-i-have-to-tell-you/
