Accusations

by

Susie's Zoo

If it were possible for us to change places,
You would see thru my eyes, everyone's faces.
If you were the one to have helped me out,
I wouldn't have been so quick to point & shout.
If it was you, that was being accused,
You could feel my pain, of being abused.
If I hadn't been there, to help out a friend,
My feelings you see, would not need to mend.
Have I ever given you any reason to doubt,
Who the real "me" is, and what I'm about?
We've talked about friends, loyality and trust,
And you know that I feel these things are a must.
Remember, I come from your side of the street.
I am not the opponent, that you need to defeat.

The Clock Drags Out

by

Susie's Zoo

The clock drags out the hours of the day.
And I close my eyes, in hopes it will all go away.

The tears run slowly down my face,
As I think about the day, it's a disgrace.

Why does it have to be like this?
Why can't we live in story book bliss?

I don't understand it, and doubt if I will,
Why out togetherness, isn't enough to fulfill.

On days like these, I don't want you near.
What happened to that person, that I loved so dear?

Friends Till The End

by

Susie's Zoo

Friends will come and friends will go.
I thought you'd be a friend, I'd always know.

You were here for the fun and here for the games,
I'm not quite sure, where to place the blame.

I hate to admit, that what others said, was right.
But now that the fun is gone, you're out of sight.

Friends till the end, I thought we'd be,
But the ties have been broken & now you're free.

Once Again

by

Susie's Zoo

Once again, you took my words & added your own twist.
You even stooped so low & threatened me with your fist.
You say that I'm the one, that should take all the blame.
You look me over, as if to say, What A Shame!

I am not that horrible person, that you make me out to be.
If you'd open your eyes, you'd see, IT'S NOT JUST ME!
There are times when you have slept, both day & night.
Then complain about the house, being such a sight.

Who are you to bitch & moan, when you have been so lazy.
I've convinced myself, that you're trying to drive me crazy.
You often complain about how I get things done.
If you don't like how I do it, then you be the one.

You think that being the wife & mom, is nothing at all.
But if we switched places, I'm sure you would take a fall.
I feel that I have been misjudged and over critisized,
You should look at yourself. You just might be surprised!

If I Was Standing Naked

by

Susie's Zoo

If I was standing naked, would you offer me your shirt?
You treat me so unkind, you treat me like dirt.

You pushed me to a place, that I have never seen.
Why in the world, do you have to be so mean?

You say you're trying to wake me up, make me alert.
But all you really ever do, is make me hurt.

Instead of growing closer, with each passing day,
Our love, you see, is growing, much further away.

The thought of what might happen tomorrow,
Makes me wonder, if I like the pain and sorrow.

Can I bare it this way very much longer?
I wish I could be, just a little bit stronger.

If I was standing naked, would you offer me your shirt?
Or would you see how much you could make me hurt!

Always Believed

by

Susie's Zoo

I've always believed, that this is a must,
To include in my life, the sense of trust.
As I sit here thinking, alone in my house,
I'm not even sure, if I trust my spouse.
My world is as screwed up as it can be,
Some days I wonder, if I trust me.
Life used to be so happy, easy & fun,
But not any more, we are all too spun.
I feel like I've come to the end of my rope,
It would be much simplier, just to give up hope.
I dream that I live, far away in a castle,
This would rid my life of the day-to-day hassle.
Life seems to be a bad roller coaster ride,
With everyone watching & no where to hide.
I question if it's worth it, to go on this way,
I suppose if I do, it's the price I'll pay.
