Read my most emotional piece to date:
Let me free to ponder this world in which I stand, where angels sing in harmony and stop at my command.
Hold me tight to show me what your soul is thinking of and push me away and leave me as you're pulled from up above.
Leave me here on Earth so I can wallow in your shadow and let me free to ponder your death in a lush green meadow.
-----------------------------------------------
I am the one left behind in the rain when no one thinks to look back.
I am the one that weeps at night 'cause of what you say I lack.
I am the one that thinks and writes to pass the time away.
I am the one left behind in your shadow, but I'll make you love me someday.
-----------------------------------------------
Power within me
Envy without
The touch of a hand
The look of a pout
Asking for passion
Holding back pain
More complex than eternity
It hurts to strain
Doing so is torture
Like something to not miss
Breaking every boundary is...
The power of a kiss
-----------------------------------------------
Just when I thought I'd have nothing to do
Just when I thought I'd die
I reached down inside
And pulled out some hope
From a place that I'd normally hide
And then when he thought he'd figured me out
From all my actions before
I opened my eyes
To see a new light
To realize I don't love him anymore
So I had cried all my tears in a night of no stars
As outside I walked alone
When I found who I was
Amongst all my fears
And gave my heart to another for a home
So just when you think you'll have no one to love
Just when you think you'll die
Never give up
And try to grow wise
From a place that you'd normally hide
-----------------------------------------------------------
I guarded my fears, thinking they would never happen
Hoping you would protect me from what was bound to come
I opened my heart to you
I opened my soul to you
And I got nothing but this in return
A pillow of tears holds my head at night instead of your shoulder
A cold room surrounds me instead of your arms
And to think that I gave you all that I was
My heart
My soul
My trust
My everything
I'm left here alone now, moving forward
ONLY because I can't go back
Waking up ONLY because the day DOES come
To overlook and forget you would be torture
But remembering is a fiery Hell
----------------------------------------------------------
Fall behind me
Calm me down
I'm on a hill
I'm out of town
I'm on a ride that's going 'round
and 'round me in my mind
-----------------------------------------------
I step closer to the ending
And wish death would come soon.
And I walk away from silence
When there's no one in the room.
-----------------------------------------------
Near to my heart and hard on my mind
Every hour passes so slow
Your memory of me...My memory of you
Things no one will ever know
Look into the future and forget the past
Listen to what I say
I know love lasts longer than life
Forever and a day
-----------------------------------------------
After a lifetime of living together, you begin to understand, that there are things that need to stay unknown between a woman and a man.
Lies from weakness and words from love are said and never planned. These things don't leave, they stay in the air between a woman and a man.
Times of money and days of poverty mean living not off of the land, but off of the love that fills the house between a woman and a man.
-----------------------------------------------
The sun rained briefly on my face. Just long enough for me to see you.
As you left, I could hear you call out to me.
You were there, close enough for me to feel you. But I could not touch you, or smell you.
I could only look on as you left
me here
-----------------------------------------------
It's quiet now...that you've gone. I no longer have anyone to confide in, or gripe to, or ...love
The rain falls from the sky like stars from Heaven, and I miss you. I miss you even though you're here in my memories...where you still live.
-----------------------------------------------
Find me...'cause I can's see.
Hurt me...'cause I can't feel.
Love me...'cause I am real.
-----------------------------------------------
Pain was the last thing I expected from you.
You inflicted it without warning.
I suffered without mourning.
Could you have done it more quiclky...not putting me through fantasy, and misery, and Hell?
War was the last thing I wanted from you.
You inflicted me with grief through a romance not so brief.
Could you have done it more quickly...not putting me through fantasy and misery and Hell?
-----------------------------------------------
I not only look innocent, but I actually am.
I was put on this earth to please every man.
I walk in my house with feet of no shoes.
I sleep always pregnant, but that is no news.
I am every woman that lives with a jerk.
I married a man that won't let me work.
I am every woman that took charge of her life.
I left my husband , he got a new wife.
I am every woman that's been pushed around.
I would help my ex-husband 6ft in the ground.
I am every woman who stands up for herself.
I am every woman that needs no one else.
