This one was the second entry in my personal "depression-era" poetry. I kept it as a kind of reminder of how I felt at one point in time in regards to someone whom I cared about. I posted it here as a sort of reflective memento. Kind of cheesy, i know, but it also acts as more of a personal reminder of how I seem to feel following a hard break-up. Safe to say, I'm a lot stronger than I was then. This specific one was not as poetic as the first one in my opinion.
Now that you're either depressed or laughing your @$$ off, enjoy! =)
Howling, raging, the cold wind of your heart surrounds the room, you've entered, spotted your valentines past, your love formerly known no more
as you shed your heart drenched shoes to finally come and finish what unspoken words have already drowned.
Drowned in the unspoken, heard through electronic lies in 800x600 color, you shed the final curtain reveling your ingenious play before me.
The inquisition awaits you, no longer will we wait, no longer will I folly, no longer will I be the pawn behind your Red Queen, I choose the red pill,
I choose not to forget, I choose to be heard, I am here, you have to face me, you have silenced me with vocabulary unheard, no more, no longer.
You speak, words heard once before now take on new shape, spoken blood, hurt, pain run down your face once hidden by sugar coated lies, regret, sorrow leave your mouth, I hear words now, I see truth no longer hidden, reveled before me.
Fires burning made to linger on skin once burned, now silent. As fire from lungs air now singes your skin, lies,
truths unspoken now heard in surround sound, seen, for the first time.
I read your book, written in pain, drenched in lies, coated with the dust of betrayals past, read but not heard, heard then unseen, seen then touched no longer,
your story read quite clear, my thirst was quenched , though now hate remained.
Uncaring, and bags packed you had to take leave, leaving untouched by my love, expressionless, dead, your last look given in sorrow and guilt, you walk long past the door never to see us again...NO, it will not end like this!
I give in, and you run, hold me like you've never done,
I cry, knowing that you feel hurt, knowing that I can not ease your pain because you are the cause, knowing that this is your final embrace, I hold on
never wanting to give you release, release from this pain, from my hurt, from this love, or from me.
It's what you deserve, you caused my pain months uneased, my questions unanswered, my cloudy dreamed lies, yet in that embrace, all time was as one, all was forgotten,
and as you released, the world changed, the battle lost, but remembered.
Our stories read chapter by chapter, knowing the lines always heard, say them again so you never forget them, never forget feelings only half spent, never forget us, or me, never forget.
