the ledge

I’m hating
Every time I take these little fucking steps I can see
There’s an anger coming up inside
I try to suppress, but I just cant prevent its rising
Never really known exactly what I expect
Caught in amazement
Marring speech I can’t forgive
Trapped by words I can’t forget

HATE ME
You can
Go on ahead now
Speak all you want on me
HATE ME
Speak your mind all you want
But watch that ledge
I won’t push back
Though, won’t help you out

My mind
It seeks out simple things
Feelings that open doors
Let me out
Allowing me to explore
My life
Ever beating,
But letting go of the quickening
Let go
Hold onto something at a slower pace

HATE ME
You can
Go on ahead now
Speak all you want on me
HATE ME
Speak your mind all you want
But watch that ledge
I won’t pull back
No, I won’t help you out

Speak those words
Do it all you want, and then
Tell me
Anything you see in me
Watch out
Don’t you see
I turn away
Why would I start to hate
It’s just care dissipating
Go on
Just go ahead with slip of tongue
Speak the words that leave you behind

Closing doors lock you out within the wind
Not a gentle breeze that rushes by
The cold dark night of an empty mind
So stomp your feet and give that friendly smile
This may not change a single thing
May never even be known
But if some day I see you slip away
Not reaching out will show the angst I own
The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key

    wow, very powerful depop...what inspired this if you don't mind me asking? good read
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    just a comment from somebody. I am 99% sure it was a joke, but it still pissed me off, and that is probably not good for that person.

    Uh oh, are you an Irish hot-head? :) ...I have one of those at home and I am guessing you are pretty clever too, dangerous combination; I do hope they meant no harm and that you can forgive and forget...and that they don't offend you again. :)
