Between You and Me

Between you and me,

I'm getting tired and stressed.

All these things I cannot flee,

so I pretend like I'm blessed.

Between you and I,

I think that I'd rather die.

But you said that you need me

so I guess here I will be.

You're joking; you don't understand

what it really does to me.

I frown behind my hand,

trying not to let you see.

You say that life's a game,

so you're the one to blame

when we forget the rules

and turn out looking like fools.

You tempt and tease and bite,

and you say that it's unfair

even though every night

I give you all I can spare.

Between you and me

I think we've wasted time.

That we're no longer free.

That these are meaningless rhymes.

Between you and I,

I think we've lost our high.

I think those days are gone.

Burned every picture we've drawn.

You saw a perfect life;

it didn't matter where.

I saw a perfect wife.

I guess she was never there.

We called it true love at first.

I couldn't quench you're thirst.

You wanted so much more,

and so you strolled out the door.

But now the cold is king.

It had a place from the start.

You wanted a diamond ring;

I wanted a way to your heart.

Between you and me,

I wonder where you are.

What we were we could still be

if I could find your North Star.

You could be somewhere lost;

you could be somewhere found.

No matter what it cost,

I'd find my way to your sound.

Between you and I,

since I walked out that door,

I sleep under the sky,

regret it evermore.

No matter how I try,

I cannot help but cry.

I'll always wonder why,

I said to you, "Goodbye."

Do you miss me at all?

And if I was to call,

would you pick up the phone

or leave me well alone?

So between you and me,

will you please let me in.

I know I left carefree;

now I want to start again.

I know you slammed the door.

I'd let you in for sure.

Only one I want to see.

Just between you and me.

I like the secret because everything in a relationship should be between the two people involved. Of course other outside influence comes into play. I also always love your rhyme scheme.

Great write, but I have to question that in the piece you have her walking out and slamming the door and then later you say you walked out. Great flow and imagery and it is very well done. Just some inconsistencies from my view. Thanks

im sorry i meant for that to be from her side of the story, on those two paragraphs or whatever on the right side of the page. anyways i appreciate your review :)

Ok I understand, but even if two different views. Once one goes out the door, it seems wrong to have the other go out the door. JMHO Nice work

Wow. That was really, really good. The way you had it formatted was exciting and it was so sad and sweet. I could really feel the emotions in this. The raw emotion, it just jumps out and honestly grasps you by the heart. The grammar/ punctuation that I'd seen was really well, I'm sure my professors would agree. My past work, my professors would choke. This was really good though. I'm glad I got your read request. Keep writing !
