Tomorrow
By Aethelwyne
I want to bleed your blood from mine
But the scars are hard to hide
I scream your name when I'm alone
And beg to understand your mind
Drowning in the strongest whiskey
My feeble pay can buy
As I wake again from dreams of you
I fight the constant urge to cry
I will never love again
The pain is too much to swallow
It's getting harder with each day
To get to tomorrow
I've been breaking down these past three months
Merely numbed by poisons and chemicals
You don't know what I have done to myself
For though I've called, you were never there at all
I guess that I should thank you
For leaving me so cold that night
Cause now I know that love is pain
So I will avoid it with my life
I will never love again
The pain is too much to swallow
This just may be the day
I don't get to tomorrow

Incredible. This is the first poem I ever gave a 10 to, it was raw, real, and so eloquent... It took my breath away. If this is something you're going through, please don't give up, love IS out there... I know everyone says it, and I know you feel either they lie or you must be broken because you're the only one without, but... Love isn't all sunshine and rainbows. It takes work from both people, and if your partner isn't willing to work, well... the relationship won't either. Anyways, you're an amazing writer, and hang in there!

You have to let him go. He's hurting you and you're not going to be able to exist if you let him hurt you like this.

the thing is, he still says he loves me, that he is always thinking about me, and that he wants to get back together, but that he doesnt want a relationship RIGHT NOW.

Oh my god...I know these feelings...to be reaching out for someone who doesnt reach back...clinging to a memory because there's nothing but air to cling to otherwise...*sighs* This is painfully familiar. ~*Beth*~
