foreign language

Posted by: Tanae' A. on: April 16, 2008

you look into my eyes
from across the room
and the corners of your mouth
reach toward heaven
as if to thank God personally
for sending me to you
your hands linger
in the small of back
when we embrace
and your heart beat tells me
thats where you want me to stay
and with those same hands
you grip her hips
as if lifting her out of your path
but your body language
she doesn’t understand
you stare at her feet
as if hoping that she would walkaway
you whisper into her ear
hoping that she might hear
the faint goodbye
that lingers in between your “I love You’s”
and there I stand
across the room
reciting your room number
and counting down the seconds
until she walks out of our sacred space
you look at me from across the room
and the corners of your mouth reach up towards heaven
you kiss her lips
as if to say
“I’ll never leave”
and I still cant see
that your body language is only foreign to me

What I Write About

This Bible Verse Caught My Attention

Philippians 4:12:: I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

Life Lessons By Carrie Underwood

There's some things that I regret, Some words I wish had gone unsaid, Some starts, That had some bitter endings, Been some bad times I've been through, Damage I cannot undo, Some things, I wish I could do all all over again, But it don't really matter, Life gets that much harder, It makes you that much stronger, Oh, some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were, Lessons learned. [Chorus:] And every tear that had to fall from my eyes, Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night, Every change, life has thrown me, I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every scar, Some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were lessons learned. There's mistakes that I have made, Some chances I just threw away, Some roads, I never should've taken, Been some signs I didn't see, Hearts that I hurt needlessly, Some wounds, That I wish I could have one more chance to mend, But it don't make no difference, The past can't be rewritten, You get the life you're given, Oh, some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were, Lessons learned. [Chorus:] And every tear that had to fall from my eyes, Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night, Every change, life has thrown me, I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every scar, Some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were lessons learned. And all the things that break you, Are all the things that make you strong, You can't change the past, Cause it's gone, And you just gotta move on, Because it's all, Lessons learned. [Chorus:] And every tear that had to fall from my eyes, Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night, Every change, life has thrown me, I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every scar, Some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were lessons learned, Oh, some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were lessons learned, Lessons learned.
