lighter.

i am simply silent.

the electric buzz of
the blue light that once
enranged me
is now that calming amber.

i am you who is me.
and i feel connected and disconnected all at once.

i look back at a black hole,
with footsteps so heavy
and stained,
and i breathe.
i hold my breath
and count to three.

i have released me.

glowing lights and
music is what awaits for me,
and you
your soft smile
is what captures me.

17th september 2008.

how can i explain that i just don't hurt anymore?
i forgive the people who have wronged me,
and keep my distance.
i am safe.

    I love the softness of the poem. It was so gentle, especially that ending. I love how the emotion sort of smoothed out as it neared the end.

    I wouldn't say this piece is happy-happy but it's not sad or lonely. It's calming and peaceful, something I rarely see on here. People are always writing about sorrow or joy but nothing that's delicate like this.

    I also like your author's notes. It's very true.

    xoxo

      thank you!
      i'm so glad you could find something different in this.
      i agree that it's not all happy happy, i can't place my finger on what it is, but it's something i'd never felt before.
