Your Spell

By AllenTaylor

I knew this would happen
And still I let myself go there
My emotions are tied and trapped in
The space where you left me, the cold frigid air
I knew all along that I was being lead down a path
A path that would lead to despair
Looking deep into my fucked up math
Hoping time would add up, and make us a pair
But now I hope that I would have the strength
To ignore my heart and move on
I hope that I'd be willing to travel the length
It would take for you to lose count of my footsteps when I'm gone
I hope your tears burn your cheeks when I leave
And the pain in your stomach churns
And the anguish of your mistakes make you see
The seas you've crossed to make your bridges burn
You will not use my affection any longer
To build you up when you've been defeated
No, This time this wall is built stronger
And no tears will come through to, to impede it
I'm trying to convince myself that I'm through adoring you
But fuck it, time will only tell
I will keep searching, till my ebony face turns blue
Until you release me, and let me escape from your spell.

    Powerful words. God, every blow to this, I felt. The last couple of lines, "Im trying to convince myself that I'm through adoring you", yes, I know how that feels. Knowing that you should hate this person, wash your hands of them, never look back at them....but finding that you can't seem to let them go. LIke a moth to the flame. Great write. *hugs*
