"Brutal Honesty"

I am "bitter jealousy"
in the arms around me
Unable to accept them wholly.

I am "utter distrust"
in the midst of a kiss
Unable to taste it fully.

I am "painful memory"
in the smile upon me
Unable to truly believe it.

I am "broken spirit"
in the grasp of a hand
Unable to warmly hold it.

I am "ravaged heart"
in the presence before me
Unable to ever forgive it.

    I love him though I fear him.

    I fear his love will break
    like dried leaves underfoot.
    Like glass on concrete.
    Like a tree branch cracking.

    I fear his love will dissolve
    like sugar in water.
    Like the scent of a dying rose.
    Like memories in a feeble mind.

    I love him though I distrust him.

    I distrust him
    like a stray animal in the night.
    Like a weather forecast in spring.
    Like a salesman knocking at the door.

    I love him and I need him.

    I need him
    like the river needs the stream.
    Like an infant needs its mother.
    Like a poem needs an end.

    I love him.

    My skin is ready
    to shed
    I am ready to become.
    The cloak I wore
    no longer fits.
    It is heavy and burdened
    like too much rain water on one leaf.
    To release me,
    from the inside out
    is to free me.
    The butterfly from the cacoon.
    The past is a memory
    no longer necessary.
    Survival depends upon renewal
    in the spring of my heart.
    What's done is done
    and I am ready
    to fit into my new skin.
    I will wear it like jewels
    shining and bright.
    A reflection of a soul
    now radiating with light.
    I am ready
    to become...me.
    For you.

    In a darkened room, we meet
    Years fading from your face, we
    embrace.
    We are taken back, into the past
    When our love was still new.
    I fall into a heap at your feet
    Crying like a child.
    You extend your dark hand and lift me
    up, into the sunrise.
    Remember how we loved?
    Oh, how we loved! Did you love me?

    In a darkened memory, we meet
    Miles melting between us, we
    embrace.
    As you tenderly kiss my face.
    All the love teenagers felt, is with us again.
    Oh, we can pretend!
    Pretend we still love. Pretend it never ended.
    Pretend, pretend, pretend.
    But instead,
    I awake in a darkened room
    Without you.
    Holding nothing but my tears
    And the faded memory
    of a friend.

    "And the faded memory

    so real for me.. thank you :)
    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

    loved them..wish I could give you a big hug!
    It doesnt hurt.... when I bleed
    but memories...they eat me
    I've seen it all before,...
    bring it on cause I'm no victim.

    I love them all, this is my favorite. For anyone that has loved and lost, this gripes the heart.
