We Carry Each Other

You stayed Once again, I turned on you Once again, you stayed It's always like this I turn into a monster Saying things I'd kill someone for, If THEY said them to you Somehow it's excusable when I say them For all my faults You accept them When I act like a miserable bitch, You return the favor with love How do I deserve you? Last night, I sat and cried For you For all you've put up with And continue to I wanted to set you free Then I realized this: In a marriage, we carry each other For better or worse, we said And we meant it When I am at my worst, you step up and carry me When you are at your lowest, I rise up to carry you I realize that REAL love means working through The muck and the ugliness To reach that beauty The beauty which remains The goodness that is constant The truth about us Which makes our family Love.Just written after a stupid fight last night. I was telling myself that I caused everything, but then my dear husband stepped up to the plate once again and reminded me that we both act stupid sometimes and this fight wasn't the end of the world. Before you think I am a terrible person, I am 4 days overdue and just want to GIVE BIRTH TO THIS BABY! AGHHHH! Thanks... Written March 10th, 2002 © on Mar 09 2002 11:51 PM PST   18 • 0 • 8
