paper cut
By Invader Lyn
ask for a day
if I want an hour
believe in a lie
if it seems comforting
if I promised you nothing
and you gave me everything
I'd know you were someone else
and I'd still be alone
smile so hard I cry
burn through bridges without a scratch
deny everything that would make you happy
so you finally feel exactly as I do
shining eyes blurred and blinded
pushed to the back and kept at arms length
I sit alone, empty and nothing
still waiting for my time to come
you cry, I laugh
I feel, you joke
I see, you fake
you die, I blank
touch, smile
laugh, cry
love, lose
live, die

I especially like the lines, "burn through bridges without a scratch deny everything that would make you happy so you finally feel exactly as I do". Ciao, T/S

ooo good write, purple -"smile so hard i cry".. i def can relate to that. the first stanza, the emotions build up and then it ends with "i'd still be alone", sigh..the sadness.. and i absolutely adore the last two stanzas !! --limey

welcome back!!! This is wonderful...captivating words, expressed so elegantly. I love "you cry, I laugh I feel, you joke I see, you fake you die, I blank". This has a fabulous flow too. Fox
