this is an old one I want to post for veddergilr27
I will be posting a few related ones - so you know you're not alone in your feelings Jamie.
it was written originally in spanish so I'll post it in spanish and then try to make it decent in english, or maybe just do a rough translation. It's not a particularly good poem, but that's not why I'm sharing it anyway.

Palabras sinceras,
Pero palabras nomás
Eso es todo lo que eres
Una bocanada de aire
Un suspiro del viento,
Un murmullo que no se materializa
Granos de arena
Que alguna vez fueron mi roca
Pero que ya no saben protegerme.
Creí ver fuego en tus ojos
Una ilusión...
Creí ver fortaleza en tu rostro,
Ahora se que mentías
Y que eras el más débil de los dos
Donde solo tus palabras te sontenían
Y eso no era suficiente
Me engañaste por un rato
Y yo quise creerte
Tu eras el muelle
Al cual me debía aferrar
Pero te hundiste antes...
Te hundiste antes...


Sincere words,
But only words...
That is all you are
A mouthful of air
A whisper of wind,
A murmur that is lost...
Grains of sand
That used to be my rock
But no longer know
How to protect me.
I thought I saw fire in your eyes
Just an illusion...
I thought I saw strength in you
I know now you lied,
Know you were weaker
Than I ever was
Where only your words sustained you
And that was not enough
You tricked me for a while
And I was foolish enough
To believe you
You were the dock
I had to moor myself to
But you went under before I did...
But you went under,
And now I'm lost.
y la banda de Guille... cuando toca?

    another oldie about disilussion, parting ways and such...

    I thought that was fire
    In your eyes
    Not a reflection of mine...
    The tired sparks
    Still struggling to emerge
    From the sad stagnant ponds
    The liquid soul
    Revealed in a glance,
    For there were
    Too many tears cried,
    And far too few laughs...
    The warmth was welcome though
    To ease the cold frown
    To wear the fleeting smile...
    Even if it was yours after all,
    And not mine...

    I am always more sad than angry when I feel someone does me wrong, probably makes it more difficult to forget...
    Just realized most of my "breaking up" poems are in spanish, not much point in translating, they will come out like crap
    this would be my "angry" poem - and it is quite bad at that and quite a horrible poem too


    Feigned indifference
    Crawls under my skin
    As I let you know
    You are forgotten --
    And the absurdity of it
    Just makes me laugh
    Because with my words
    I give you life,
    Because your face still remains
    Like a pollaroid memory
    Frozen in time...
    Your face, such sweet face,
    And words you mouthed
    About beauty
    And other lies --
    So let me call you ugly
    It might help to ease my mind
    Let me say you're hideous
    To break the ties that bind...

  • Thank you soooo much sweetie. They made me cry. Seriously, sitting here crying like a baby. I don't know which one I like best.
    It's so hard to get to a point like you speak of in the last one. I really, really want to, but some sick & twisted part of me doesn't wanna let go. I'm really glad you posted these poems. Thank you baby!
    There was a whole inside his soul a manicure couldn't fill. So he found himself a whore to love while daisies choked in the windowsill. *JK*

    Don't be sorry! They did help a lot. That's why they made me cry. It is so nice to know others have been there & have gotten through it.
