The empty silence before me
Oh, this again, how can it be
My assuming causes so much grief
You have made your point to be brief
I am trying to learn as you teach
This is hard, Will I grasp? Can I reach?
It seems such a hopeless cause
But with you there is only a pause
You give me praise and show me hope
I am one that has a hard time to cope
Even thru these times you are there
Never giving up and showing you care
I have come a long way this past year
Feelings reeling and causing a tear
Slowly flowing down my cheek
As your words you do speak
Such strong emotions evolve
But many problems left to solve
I feel there is no room for me
Maybe opening up is not the key
The actions that you ask
I feel are not a task
Before I can show you how I feel
I need to know if you are real
Open up to me and talk
Maybe we can take a walk
Give me some kind of clue
Show me your actions are true
Do not stay gone for to long
All the words can tell you I was wrong
Time will tell what is best
Maybe then we can put this to rest
