Sun glinting off the waves
A knife carving on a cheek
Silver moonlight reflected across the still ocean
A silver scar creeping across her jawline
The sun creates a silver lake
The knife creates a silver stream
Her blood is gold
The wound silver
Her head held high
The sight blinding
People stare in awe and wonder
At the sliver lake created in her eyes
At the silver lake reflected off the ocean tide
The smooth skin made smoother from the blade
(my very own nonsensical poem)
And when you're gone
I'll remember pale moonlight
And early sunrise
And the way the morning air whispers your name
Just before dawn breaks through
The midnight blue
We had a lot of good memories didn't we?
And perhaps I did take you for granted
And perhaps you took me for granted too.
But just one more kiss from you would have been
A saving grace
And my complete undoing.
Often times we do things that seem so right and so wrong, both at the same time, and we wind up feeling confused and conflicted. And we think it would have been best to do nothing at all. And we end up wondering about what could have been if we had just stayed. Maybe we'll never know why certain things happen and reasoning and timing may not always be right. But we should always hold on to love. Love that has always been pure to you. Hearts will shatter and souls will burn but it's how you deal with the healing that determines the End Game.
And I am not sure I want another man to touch me
To touch my body or my soul
And I may not have been harmed physically
But I have been hurt brutally emotionally
And my soul cannot be stitched together
It cannot be mended after this
And I had given so much of myself to you
Opened every faucet in my heart for you
And you had broken me
And said I had no one to blame but myself
And I am not sure I want to open the faucets for another
Again
You have broken me
You have torn me apart
You have harmed me in such a way
You have brutally beaten my heart
And my soul
And I want no part of it any longer
And suddenly
My world came crashing down
And I am sitting on the floor
With eyes on fire
And soul beaten
And heart torn open
And I envy you
For having the ability to cut yourself
Off
And I pity you for it too
And I wonder if at night
You feel broken too
And if you dare let a single tear
Fall
In remembrance of our good pure love
The way a faucet opened in me
I hurt him. I broke his heart and I cried until I could not see or hear or feel anymore. And I hurt him. And I felt my heart breaking. Because he is still my one. And he will forever be my only. And I broke him. So I broke myself.
...I couldn't stop thinking about what would have happened if I had allowed you that second chance. Would I have stayed? Would I have been happy, merely because I would have had you again? Would I have still left? Would we have stayed in a relationship? I suppose we would have because VHS is only two or three blocks away from BHS. But I suppose we probably wouldn't have because it was all just too much of a sad situation.
And c... I wonder this quite often... If I had asked you to allow me to explain myself to you... Would you let me? Would you want to hear the truth? Or would you be content with a lie?... I wanted to reach for your hand that day, so badly that it stung. I wanted to hold your hand; see if I could still feel the warmth from your hand radiate through mine into my bones. I remember how it felt to slip my hand into yours, and I desperately wanted to see if I would still feel that now. I so desperately wanted to know how you feel about me... And whether or not you wanted to hold my hand too.
"If only" is just a cliché phrase isn't it? I seem to cling on to the If Only's and What It's more than anything.
As the rain starts to fall
Through the cracks in the ground
So the rain starts to fall
Through the crevices in my soul
As the winds clears
The fallen leaves from the sidewalk
So the wind clears
The fallen leaves from my heart
As the seasons
Change
So does my heart
As time goes by
My wounds heal
And self-love grows more boldly
In my soul.
