a hearts cry by Mark Perkins (children's books read aloud .txt) 📖

be healed?
The next step is to believe,
Wilt thou be healed?

The third step is to love,
Wilt thou be healed?
The final step is for you to take:
Wilt thou be healed?


THE SIGHT OF YOU
One time the sight of you filled me with love
Now I wonder what did I ever see in you?
One time I could never take my eyes off of you
Now the sight of you makes me sick
What is that turned My love to hate?
My hope to despair?
My longing to loathing?
One thing, the woman I used to love
The darkness of your heart, the ugliness of your soul
The uncareingness of your spirit
In short…………………..
You did!


BITCH
Belligerent
Incorrigible
Testy
Caustic
HEARTLESS


WHAT’S THE POINT?
When love dies
What’s the point of going on?
When all you say are lies.
What’s the point of going on?
When your gifts bring sadness.
What’s the point of going on?
When “I love you” means nothing.
What’s the point of going on?


I COULD ALMOST SAY
When I hold you in bed
I could almost say………
But then morning comes
And reality sets in
When we sit (sat) together
By the puzzle or side by side
I could almost say…….
But when you scream
At me, at my son, at the cat,
Those emotions just go away.
Then the words…….
Just turn to…
I HATE YOU
AND
I want you to go away


YOU STARTED
First thing in the morning
Nag, Bitch, Moan, Groan, Complain,
What ever happened to :“I’ll change!”?
You pushed and you yelled what you want,
But you did one last thing
YOU LIED!!!!!!!!!


WHAT’S ENOUGH?
We share a house
Is that enough?
We share a bed
Is that enough?
We shared each other and had a son
Is that enough?
The sad answer is no!
We don’t laugh together
We don’t cry together
What we have is not enough,
To break through the wall that is
Me to make us, us then
That will be enough


THERE WAS A TIME:
There was a time I loved you
But no more
There was a time you meant something to me
But no more
I wanted you at one time
But no more
You mean nothing to me
I don’t want you anymore
Please just go away
And never return
I hate you with all I am…..
You broke my heart…..
But NO MORE!!!!!


WHY DO YOU DO THIS?
You either talk over me
Or bitch at me
Why do you do this?
You don’t let me talk
You cant let me be
Why do you do this to me?

I wish you’d go away
I don’t want you anymore
Why do you make me feel this way?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?


WHY DO YOU HURT ME?
When the headache rages,
When the anger roars,
You fuel the beast within,
Poking the monster with your barbs and slurs
And when I do begin to finally rest,
Retreating to a quiet place
You enter and start it all over again!
Why do you hurt me?
Why?
Why?
Why?


SEX WITH YOU:
Two bodies joined as one,
Two different ideas
I want to please you,
What are you thinking?
Where are you?
Two bodies
One moving-the other not,
Where are you?
Sex should be about two being one,
Both pleasing the other.
Loving, kissing, moving, feeling.
Sex with you is none of the above.
It’s just well…..
SEX
No love
No passion
No hope
No reason for it
Despair! Useless! Unsatisfying! Sex!


We were together one night
You and me
Body to body, the way it should be
I felt you so close to me
I thought this is how we need to be
Not just the sex but the closeness
But I knew when the act was done,
So would our closeness be over
Why dear is it like this?


Why don’t you just shut up?
All you do is tell me what to do.
Why don’t you just shut up?

You yell, scream and bitch at my son
Why don’t you just shut up?
You worry about your past and your failures
Why don’t you just shut up?
After 14 years of this mindless chatter
All I want you to do is
Shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What did I want in a wife?
A helper suitable to me,
An agape, a lover, someone who would be there.
What did I get?
A bitchy, selfish, woman,
Who loves only herself
I didn’t get what I wanted!
I wanted a woman I could:
Laugh with and cry with
A woman who needed me
And whom I would need
I didn’t get what I wanted!


OUR RINGS, OUR LOVE:
My ring represents how love should be,
Your ring represents how your love is.
My ring has no beginning and no end,
Your ring has a center point, a look at me!
My ring is plain.
Your ring is decorated.
My ring is like true love
My ring is like is like true love, without end.
Your ring points only to you.
Which love is true?
Yours or mine?


WHY WONT YOU LET ME GO?

If I’m so stupid, as you call me almost everyday.
WHY WONT YOU LET ME GO?
If I’m such a pig, a slob,
or any other names you call me.
WHY WONT YOU LET ME GO?
If I’m such an embarrassment to you,
WHY WONT YOU LET ME GO?

You wont talk to me, except to whine at me.
WHY WONT YOU LET ME GO?

You make me sick, I want you to let me be.
WHY WONT YOU LET ME GO?
If I’m as nasty, as you say I am.
WHY WONT YOU LET ME GO?
If I’m as mean, as you say I am.
WHY WONT YOU LET ME GO?
If I do all these things to you,
wouldn’t it be wise for you to
Just LET ME GO.


A hearts Cry 2
The walls we built
Are so big so high and so tall
When one takes a brick away
The other puts it back
It’s no wonder why we scream at each other
The walls are so thick so high so tall
We are surrounded by towers
You and me
Towers of our own making


Teach Me To Love
Lord teach me to love,
Because I’ve lost my way.
My life is filled with strife
Please show me the way
He said:
Follow me, I’ve shown you how.
Give all of yourself to others
Love fully
Trust unconditionally
Give as I gave
Follow me!


Why do I love you?
You think our son is a brat
When confusion fills his mind
You think, and call me a bastard
When you and I dissagree
You flip me off
When frustrated with me.
Love is a two way street
The way you don’t want to go
Why wont you love us?


Homemaker or home wrecker II
Everything we do,
Everything we say,
Either brings us closer together
Or drives us further away
Every little word
Every little deed
Either helps or hurts us
When in time of need
So listen to this poem
And guard your words carefully
Or destroy your mate,
Your relationship, your marriage
And end up in misery


You ask me why I hate you so
You bitch at me,
You interrupt me
You talk on the phone for hours
Or just talk to yourself
You never take my yes as a yes
And my no as a no
So tell me why do I hate you so?


One little statement
We can’t talk to each other
When I make a statement
A doubt, a fear, a wonder,
You ask a question
Then you have to ask “one more question”
That turns into ten questions
You refuse to see how that aggravates me
You wont stop asking questions
when will you shut up?


What do you care about?
When what you care about
Is more than who you care about
Lovest thou me?
When household chores
Means more to you than me and ours
Lovest thou me?
When rock and roll fills your head
And you rather that I were dead
Lovest thou me?


What broke us up?
What broke us up my dear?
You started reading your books,
I went to my computer.
That started to break us up.
You found chores to do,
I found new hobbies.
That started to break us up.
Finally
We were no longer us
Stuck in our own little world
That’s what broke us up!


COMMUNICATION
Communication is:
Soul to Soul
Heart to Heart
Mind to Mind
Never using:
Put downs
Or
Cut downs
No matter what is said:
You can hear
“I love you”
With each word and phrase
Ringing loud and clear!


I’M SO SORRY

Three words I(we) really need to say.
But before they come out
You yell, scream and swear,
At me, our son, at the cat.
Then the beast within roars like a lion.
Then we tear into each other like animals
Like two people who hate each other.
So I end this poem with these three words…
I’m so sorry


LOVEST THOU ME?
You constantly nag at me,
Lovest thou me?
You rather watch your shows,
Than be with me.
Lovest thou me?
With your words
You jump all over me
For any and every little thing.
Lovest thou me?
You nit pick things to death.
Lovest thou me?
You worry to the point of distraction.
Lovest thou me?
You scream rather than talk
Lovest thou me?
You read more than spend time with me
Lovest thou me?
You stay in the tub more than stay with me
Lovest thou me?


BUZZ,BUZZ,BUZZ

When you speak to me,
All I hear is:
Buzz, Buzz, Buzz.
You say something to me,
All I hear is:
Buzz, Buzz, Buzz.
You nag at me,
All I hear is:
Buzz, Buzz, Buzz.
Your words use to fascinate me,
Now all I hear is:
Buzz, Buzz, Buzz.


HOW TO BREAK A HEART
How to break a heart
To break someone heart
Its not hard to do.
Take 1 Corinthians 13
And do the opposite
That’s all there is to do
Be impatient and unkind
Let jealousy rule and be envious
Boast and have a me first attitude,
Be a rude and pushy person
Be selfish then:…….
CRACK


WHERE WERE YOU?
Where were you?
In 2004 where were you?
My 16 year old dog died,
I had to put her down.
Where were you?
My grandmother died,
Where were you?
At her funeral arrangements,
Where were you?
When my aunt died,
Where were you?
I’ll tell you where!
With my pet of 16 years
You worried about money
With my grandma
You worried about you
With my aunt
You worried about my time off.
Where were you when I needed you most?
NO WHERE! THAT’S WHERE!


WHY DON’T I LISTEN?
Why don’t I listen to you?
You worry about things you don’t need to,
Then yack at me about them all night long!
You enter a room talking,
Never addressing whom you are speaking to,
Then get mad when no one answers you.
You nag, complain, and bitch at me 24/7.
And when
