How can you smile
the way you do
how can you not
miss me like i
miss you
how could
your words have
ever been true
the coldest thing
is that you dont
miss me like i miss you
do you want to
see inside me
all the dark places
where i try and hide
you know
im sorry for
what i said
what i did
you dont sleep
but its not
from thinking about
me or we
or what we dreamed
or how we lost it
my consolation
my comfort
when i sleep
is that i know
that one day soon
i wont be cut
this deep
only the strong
yeah right
gone to soon
do i ever cross
your mind
when you say
goodnight to the moon
i want you back
or out of my mind
for now
i cant find
a moments peace
but i can see
the other side
bitter yup
sweet im not
how do i
build bridges
when i cant
break down these
walls of broken
promises
and failed
attempts
i just want
to hear you say
just another day
i wish i never
ducked your calls
i wish i never
cared at all
insecurity is
never sexy
you celebrated
my complexity
then you left me
and im more alone
yeah i said it
i regret it
and i dont care
who knows
or if you see this
all i know is i miss you
wow - this is beautiful - heartfelt - my fav lines are
ReplyDeletehow do i build bridges when i cant break down these walls of broken promises..
Sad and beautifully well done. Excellent writing Theron. :) Love the new blog set up, it's looking fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI was going to mention the same lines as Claudia notes above; don't we all ask that question? The emotion comes across even as the language remains controlled. I like how this is both personal and also universal.
ReplyDeleteThis is incredible my friend. I can absolutely feel the longing of a love gone away and I love the way that you expressed it. Beautiful. Love and Light, Sender
ReplyDeletei think we are going to start sounding repititious as those are the lines that snapped my head back and made my heart stand at attention...beautiful one shot theron!
ReplyDeleteWow, a gorgeous piece of work there! I really loved the emotions! =)
ReplyDeleteLeft me with silent tears, racing heartbeats and a long sigh..burning and flat. loved every word Theron..emotional one shot for me..great work!
ReplyDelete"how do i
ReplyDeletebuild bridges
when i cant
break down these
walls of broken
promises"
—profound raw honesty that flows rapid; skilled lines justify many emotions. intense
Raw emotions pour forth..
ReplyDeleteI can relate to that deep longing. Yet I know it is better to let go..
ode to un-puntuated verses
Increadibly beautiful in its sadness.
ReplyDeleteLove forsaken, love forgone, love yearned for. I want to weep. Nice one.
ReplyDeletebitter tears, words that should be torn up and thrown away and emotion
ReplyDeleteClear and raw my friend
What a great expression of love gone...

ReplyDeleteI sense the longing in this. Very honest too.
ReplyDeleteA bitter sweet poem. I love it!
ReplyDelete"I want you back/or out of my mind..." The past is a trap where you gnaw your foot off to get out some days...but there's a little reptile in any survivor and one day it grows back--sense you already know that in this poem.
