Too much

Too much is what you said
when i broke down and told you my dilemma
you had apologized, but it was online
how could i have known what you would say

you were more supportive than i thought
you didn't call me a slut, or tell me i provoked him
you were there
and frantically trying to call me for my safety

do you really love me as much as you say
is that why its so hard for you to deal with
to imagine the swift hands of another on the woman you love
who doesn't want them there

that the one you made love to
may never be able to accept your advances again, without guilt or memories of yesterday's offenses
that you could have somehow prevented it by being there
by being loving, instead of selfishly, hatefully hiding yourself away

too much for you to deal with
what about me
i don't have a choice
i have to deal with this, or slowly go insane

too much is never good
but how can you choose what to deal with and what not to deal with
i didn't have that option when you came to me
and spilled all your problems all over my floor, my couch, my heart and soul

if i had told you too much
you would have been angry
just as i am
i'm so angry that you could just walk out when i need you most

that your fear and anger for another
could drive you from me
keep you from loving me when i need it most
keep you from holding me, shielding me from the storms that are raging in my body and soul

when i have nightmares, will that be too much
when i cry out, will that be too much
when your touch brings back memories, will that be too much
when love is involved there is never too much

i've had so much go on with me, that i could never say too much
to tell you it's too much, is to give up
to quit trying, and stop living
and to do that is letting him win and for me that's too much
