not thirsty, my pillow

my pillow must be tired
of soaking in all these tears
'cause even though the salty taste
is one to savor sometimes,,,
it must get boring...
right?

night time is always hardest
and that's when i cry the hardest too
but in the end i snuggle up
and all i think about
is your smile, so i'm okay

but my soul likes to leak
and let emotion seep
out my eyes,
the windows that lead
to the me that lives
inside

and the seeping comes
and the stars come out as well
and the quiet is so loud
that i cover my ears
and lay face down in my pillow
and i rain... i rain... i rain...

if my pillow was a flower
and my tears were pure as the water from a stream
it could never die of thirst...

~*~*~*~*~

to the ones who read my poetry, and to the ones i love... don't worry. the crying in which i speak of isn't completely out of sadness... but out of exhaustion. i'm okay. :) chances are, it's just the fact that i miss you...

    Writers strive for years for images as simple yet effective as that.

    Lovely, Jessie.

    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Olderman.... you're lovely as well. I'm so glad you like my stuff so much. You're so warm and loving. A very comfortable person to interact with, even on the internet. You bring a personal feel to something (the internet) that can be so *IM*personal. You're wonderful wonderful and SO wonderful. :) Smiles in every direction to you, sir. :)

    If your pillow was a flower soaking up your tears....I'm sure it would be the brightest flower in all the land. *hugs*

    thats beautiful. i wish we could meet so i can give you a hug
    “ ahh…. Yaa…. If you trust me at all… if you wanna listen to me at all… which you certainly don’t have to. Speaking from experience I can tell you that things change. You could believe me, you don’t have to. They probably won’t change, unless you make them. The best way to change something around you, something you don’t like, is.. to change yourself. I don’t think you want other people changing you.. I think.. I think.. the only person you want changing you… is yourself. So if you ain’t happy…. If you’re reading magazines about generation x’s and thinking ‘ya im one of them’ well fuck that…. Don’t let anybody tell you who you are. No… No…. No one can tell me who I am. I can tell you who I am but that would be a long story… I can tell you who I am and it wouldn’t fit in a Rolling Stone…. It wouldn’t fit in a video… it wouldn’t… its my life…. Its your life. Youre the only one that knows who you are. I hope you know who you are. If you don’t know who you are, figure it out. Cause you are some body. And Im probably stating the obvious. But I just thought I would do it anyway. So if you fell like you got a piece of duct tape on your mouth, if you feel like you cant speak. Take it off, Speak up. Speak your Mind. Shout it Out. Let ‘em Hear Ya. Shout it out…… YAAA YAAAAA yAAAAAAAAAAA.” Eddie Vedder (Porch ’96 Randle Island 2)
