but there was a secret i did not ell you:
i dulled my spark and weakened my hasty
so i could continue to stay in a place where i knew
i could not flourish.
(there... it is said)
we were not happy- we were just lies
me talking to you again again again-
we, no, i, tried too hard; you never cared.
show mercy
spare it from your side- and gently rip
what was mine, what lived in you.
and return it to me.
do it while our hearts are still intact,
before they rot in each others' care,
before they become riddled with resentment-
and tell my arms not to worry so- no to try to hold on.
disarm your tongue of its dagger
and i'll have wept for what we wanted
to be for each other-
and what we never ever were...
it seems only yesterday i believed
there was naught under my skin but light-
so if you cut me, i would glow.
but now... when you cut me
i do not shine,
i only bleed.

*explodes* Excellent! My goodness, what a great poem. Definately not cliche at all, this one really stands out. Language, even if not your own, is compiled in the best of ways. Beautiful words, flows like a melody. Great job babe! --Glori
