Thinking Out Loud
Revised version


When we spoke today,
you* made me aware,
that you may feeling
smothered­

I was hurt by the truth,
and was stung by the pain,
so, I stopped, reflected and
wondered

I thought about us,
how I hoped it would work
but a girl needs to know that she's
treasured

But you don't adore me
or love me to pieces
and I make you feel so
encumbered

It's true what they say
about how actions speak
and you act as if you are
censored

You push me away
when you've had enough
like you're wishing our days were
numbered

Now I'll do what you want
and extinguish our flame,
leaving you to breathe deep in the
*blame
Feedback welcomed and appreciated. :)

To the poets on HP,

I wanted to use this space to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on HP. Whether you celebrate the holiday or not, we all have many things to be thankful for if we just take the time to look. I personally am thankful for each and every one of you who share your poetry with me and read and enjoy my work.  I am very thankful for all of the kindness I have been shown on this site. I appreciate it so very much.

I hope your day is filled with family, friends, happiness and many things to be thankful for.

& I realized, it doesn't matter
if I don't think she's pretty,
or interesting, or smart.
because you still chose her
over everything I had to offer.

lifting up
breaking down
crying world
i am your clown
making up who i am now
trusting no one
screaming loud
hurting others
by not hurting self
heart on sleeve
memories on shelf
lifting up
breaking down
look out world i'm on my way to town
