So many words are left unsaid-
they're crowding up my soul.
The things you do that hurt my heart,
that make me loose control.
And when I visit you at home
I feel dishonored there.
Such disrespect for me and mine
You musn't even care.
To top it all: opinions voiced,
the day when I had called-
You say such things so nonchalant
such meaness bare and bald.
The weird thing is, you can't have meant
the hateful thing you spoke.
I can't believe... It rips me up...
It must be... you... misspoke.
And here I am, again I feel
the need to make excuses
for all the pricks you stab me with,
for all the small abuses.
I'll leave it as it was before,
these words will stay unsaid.
they'll stay here in my little hole-
Unvoiced, unheard, unread.

I connected with this. intensely. i have the same problem ; i can't seem to let the people I love know when they are hurting me. i rationalize it... i just keep it inside. it's very frustrating.

Nice Write!
In the second stanza you wrote dihonored I think you meant dishonored. and in the fifth stanza I think it would flow better if you changed excuse and abuse to excuses and abuses. but that's just me. I loved the fourth stanza, it really brought me into the poem, excellent write overall. -
Thank you for your most heartfelt entry, Josephine
