Your Gift

PJGirl2004

Believing you
was easier
before you believed in her.
Having you come back
now
is like
accepting dead flowers.
Or cold leftovers.
I have the taste of metal
in my mouth.
I don't know how to live,
or love for that matter.
You knocked over
a tower of blocks
and now I am a little girl
crying.
Surounded by your mess.
I detest
the person you've become
The monster I've become...
I know I'm not who you once loved
But who's to blame there?

They say that everyone
feels this way at some point...
that we all share the same feelings
somehow.
Well...
That brings me no comfort at all.
I can't even
keep my emotions to myself
They've all been felt
by somebody else.
I have nothing to cling to
and nowhere to run to.
Thank you.
I am an isolated island
underneath a sunless sky
on the coldest day of winter.
What's the matter?
Don't want to hear it?
Can't stand to see it?
Want to leave again?
Too bad,
my heart is a raw
and bleeding organ
An unfeeling mass of flesh.
What once was love
has become
contempt.
Congratulations...
you said you wanted me back
and this is what you get.
So really, open up your gift.
It's just my soul on a platter
and my heart in a dish.

Blow out the candles
and make your wish.

WOW...I am utterly and completely floored right now...
You are a brilliant writer, and I'm sure a brilliant person as well. Whoever this guy is...i'm sure he doesn't deserve you.

I was feeling a tad icy that day!
But really, thanks for reading.

Here goes another one...

PJGirl2004

Like a phantom
your face hangs
just on the edge
of memory.
A dream.
An image just out of touch
just out of reach.
Haunting and cool
like the wind that sweeps
over a lake at night.
I want to be with you.
I long to see you
but you are just out of sight.

I remember a kiss,
when we were the only two souls on earth.
I remember the world
stopped turning for a moment.
As you held me.
Because I let you
be aware of my worth.

Your love was a present
and your heart was a gift.
But now, the earth
is spinning out of control
and there is so little to hold on to.
The universe has ripped.

Like a leaf on a limb,
my position is precarious.
And holding on is tedious.
I could blow away at any time
but where would I go?
Who would catch me?
And what
would I leave behind?

If I fell,
I think I'd just fall through you.
Into an abyss of blue
and black.
For you are a ghost
and your love is an act.
I know you can't save me.
You simply mistake me
for a fool.
Yet,
I am still
so in love with you.

Or with your memory, at least.
I wrap my arms around
the frailty
that was once
you and me.
I gaze out into the glass rain
and cry.
There is a life out there somewhere,
but it has surely passed me by.

I never wanted something so much.
Just a hand to touch,
a hope to believe in.
A smile to share.
You were the one
who'd always be there...
but you escaped me
and yourself I suspect.
You left me
and I cannot rest.

For the night is a globe
of lonely tears,
cried into hands that
cannot feel.
I hang in anguish
on the limb of a tree.
While your face hangs like
twighlight
on the edge of a dream.

your emotions are raw
where did you come from...
are you storming this world
Or did you just lose an umbrella
Now are you trying to build your wall back up
Don’t try too quickly.
They are eager and trust me they’re shady
One drop from your eye tells me a shattered past comes through your pen
Can sunlight help to restore what was torn and tattered.

When you step outside
Do you notice the birds whistling out your name
Or is it just another day
Grey Kind of Hazy.
Im not trying to coax you in your own words
You hang in anguish on a limb of a tree.

Don’t forget the coin flips and lands on either side always…
For you.. for him…
Always.
