Its there, patiently waiting
the loneliness slowly skulking,
secretly entering the corner of my eyes,
I try not to blink. Please don’t blink.
Breathe
Breathe
I can do this!
I have been through worst than this.
But at the moment comparison doesn’t come close.
I should know better, I’m firmer than this-
Breathe
Breathe
Waiting, I keep waiting
every word is a knife cutting me deeply-
its layers peeling like Spanish onions;
its layers uncovering like Russian Dolls.
Breathe
Breathe
I can do this; of course I can do this!
I have been through this before:
13- Daddy left
20- Mama left
Breathe
Breathe
Now am older, wiser, but somehow
the pain is stronger, the tears unstoppable
I don’t know whose next?
I don’t want promises, love, and peace.
Breathe
Breathe
I want to fight so that way when you leave,
The pain will be numb, dead-
but somehow between preparing myself
For your pain- I forgot to live.
Author notes
Love sometimes hurts if it isn't meant to be...remember not to cast yourself out of harms way, close yourself to love, otherwise regardless of the pain, you forget to live life to the fullest.
