These are just words

By openureyes

I remain stuck
My precious
My legs locked with yours
I’m right back there
Countless times I looked up and saw your face
Felt that maybe I could be that one to touch your heart
enough
To make a world of difference
I swore I did
To save you
Be that superwoman I created
I forgot about reality
A hundred times I told you what I tell me
So you understand
You always could turn my babble into something real
Something that worked for you
Or so I thought
Your voice haunts me
Maybe I can wrap myself around your brain again
Maybe you can scoop me up
Take me away from here
These are just words I carelessly throw on paper
Along with a bit of hope
I’m all out of ideas
This was not the ending I had planned
I can work with this?
I’m completely out of options
These are just feelings
Coming and going at the speed of light
These are just meaningless words I threw together
Its all I know
If I could paint a picture of my love for you it would be so beautiful
a black sky filled with stars
But all I have is words placed semi-intelligently on some paper
Dedicated to you as I figure a way to go on
with out you
Trying to make peace and let go of regrets
With the faith you are in a better place
At peace
no pain
watching over me
Knowing you feel the depth of my every emotion
Your gone
I get it
Somewhere up there
Now where do I go from here.

    Heartbreaking last line, uggh, it is devastating touching with a wonderful structure. I enjoy all your work.

  • A former member wrote: personal yet compelling for the casual eye to read. The feeling is as real here as my own memories.

  • A former member wrote: Simple, yet powerful.
