I’m Hiding

because the words I know you about to say just aren’t what I want to hear right now  and so I have to go before you can finish saying it all to me.

You call and I ignore out of fear that the words that will be said won’t be so joyful this time of year.

And I just can’t bear not being in a good mood right now, so please just let me be right now and if what you have to say is not nice or good.

Can’t you just wait to say them because I just don’t want to deal with them right now, I want to stay on my hill of happiness.

I don’t want to slide down and be at the bottom and hear the cruel words pour out of your mouth after such a long day.

But, I know that I can’t hide forever and I need to listen to what you have to say so that I can accept it and move on.

I don’t agree with you and so a disagreement is started

and the fight starts out just as innocent as every other one.

But, so how this disagreement became so much bigger than just the two of us

soon others were joining in and the results were not looking good for us.

Sides had been drawn and fights were breaking out left and right and I just wish I could go back a couple of hours ago.

And just have kept my mouth shut because this is too much for me and I just can’t believe that you let it get this far.

And as the nasty things were said you just looked as if you had nothing to do with and when it finally went too far.

That was the only time you jumped up as if waken from a bad trace and said enough with this.

We need to all agree that we disagree on the matter but this has gone on long enough.
