a wish

i wish i could let go of you
today
because i know you have
of me
and all the praying
and the hoping
and all that shit
it hasnt changed a damned thing
you've killed me
and though i'm no fool
i've come back
a thousand times
and i'm tired
i'm so tired
but you wont let me let go
because it's yours
only yours
to give
and you dont
love me
you dont

Sounds so heartbreaking.

Hope may spring eternal, but sometimes it can be an excruciating pain in the everything.

Sometime, someday, close your eyes and cut the wire, it won't matter if it is the red one or the blue one...explosions often can't be avoided...but they can be survived.

Reading this made me remember a moment/vision/shiver/feeling I had recently, yet I don't know if I was asleep or wake when I had the moment/vision/shiver/feeling. - G

My heart is breaking for you.

Brian Miller said...

sometimes walking away isnt the struggle as much as what you have to leave behind. this one stings a bit.

it is a rotten putrid smell
masking the fragrance of my soul.

"you've killed me"

hmm, given the other things you say, it sounds more like the homicide is still in progress . . .

you're killing me . . .

What a sad poem. I hope it's not based on personal experience. :(

We've all felt that pain. It is part of life and growth. But if we dont' grow beyond it, we fester and whither away. Not letting go is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die.

You can walk away. You're stronger than you know. This I know.

What I have learned from a relationship that nearly killed me, is that if it makes you tired, it's not of any value to begin with.
