Sometimes I see him holding back thoughts, like he is afraid of what his words will sound like. Are you ok? I’m fine! has become somewhat of a song we sing. A very sad, lonely song we sing together.

I am worried about you
Your clipped sentences
Your unfinished words
They silently speak volumes
And leave me with so little
♥
I am worried about me
My voice quiet
My thoughts heavy
They reveal nothing
And leave me with so much
♥
I am worried about you
The look in your eyes
They say I need you
But you’re not there
I need you back, do you care?
♥
I am worried about me
The things I see
The things I want
My desire is ambivalent
I am here, but caring for?
♥
I am worried about you
My questions go unanswered
My “I love you” is deflected
Your armor is transparent
But I cannot dissolve it alone
♥
I am worried about me
Your questions are my questions
Your love dispersed
Through my depressive filter
Never to be loosened alone
♥
I am worried about you
But I stand strong here
Waiting patiently to hear
That you can feel my love
That you can see me here

I hate that feeling, when you know your partner has something on her mind (or his, as the case may be) and they just won’t say what they’re feeling, or become passive-aggressive about the issue. I can’t work to fix a vague concept.

It often feels like you’re locked in the same cell with them, but the warden won’t let you hug one another.

Kind of like a smartphone. We all have them, but most of us have no idea how to use the actual productive features they offer.
Crap, even our relationships are out-teching us.

I love that. “Even our relationships are out-teaching us”

It’s terrifying to have someone who you love adopting this attitude, and sad when both are feeling the same attitude is the best defense…the end is near.

Ok ladies I’m going to help you out here with a man’s perspective. If he has something difficult to talk about, it is made more difficult facing the dramatic response that he knows is going to come. I’m not saying a dramatic response isn’t deserved, but I am saying is shuts down communication. Most men don’t want to pick a fight, and the easiest was to not do it is to not say what is on your mind. How do you help him through this? Check your emotions at the door and you give him a safe calm environment to communitcate within. Just sayin’.

Love. Such a tricky thing. People change… love changes… As we change, sometimes our partner doesn’t. Then we are standing there, wondering why they don’t automatically know what’s going on with us… and vise-versa. That’s why communication is such an important part of love… but it’s not always so easy… But what do I know really..? I do know I love you and I know that you carry one of the most beautiful spirits ever! So, carry it on Miss Hasty and everything will be alright!!

I really like this poem because there is so much emotion on both sides of it.
It really makes me think of the kind of impact writing poetry with a significant other can have on a relationship.
