candlebutter - Hello Poetry

the first time we met you were daisies. fragile thin soft sweet laughing in rain running in wildflowers resting there too ...then you were gone. the next time you were roses. robust sturdy reserved beautiful running from the world playing broken pianos living in empty castles ...then you were gone. the third time you were violets. delicate cheerful royal drinking bitter petal tea watching stars dressing in diamonds ...then you were gone. a fourth a fifth a sixth i find you again again again it's all different every time. but you never remember. not me. not until your last moments. ...and so it repeats. eternally

could you reflect upon the past with shadowed walls and broken glass? could you see me inside those shards from pieces of bone and shattered hearts? could you feel the aching pains the moans and wails inside your brain? could you know how i had felt as walls tore down and lies would melt? could you see the hurt you caused with your blank face and all your flaws? could you tell you crossed every line? could you?

He told me He would never hurt He would never lie He would never leave He told me He would always trust He would always give He would always help That's what he told me. But he made me cry He made me hurt I had to lie I had to leave I gave too much trust I gave too much of anything I helped too much He used me. I was his mirror His reflection His vision of himself That Was his view of me That was probably his view of anyone. But it was him.

a lifetime short and simple living in the wood bathing in moon splashing in rivers watching stars it's peaceful.
