Nails On Nightstands

A Poem by The Winter Grey
"

I want to make you mine.

"

Don't say anything you might regret.

Don't say anything I might forget.

Or better yet,

Just don't say anything.

 

You're telling stories,

Of beautiful nights turned mornings.

I only wanted to be,

Lying next to you when the sun hit that sea.

 

I want what you give away so easily.

I want what I never got the chance to see.

 

Am I just another love you might regret?

Am I just another friend you might forget?

I'm used to it,

Just another anyone.

 

I'm twisting my soul,

Screaming black and bloody alone.

Slip right through my hands,

You left your cross on the pillow and your nails on the nightstand.

 

I want what you give away so easily.

I want what you said but didn't mean.

I want what I never got the chance to see.

Damn it I just want you to love me.

 

Tell me everything you don't regret.

Tell me everything I won't forget.

Or better yet,

Just tell me everything.

I love the raw honesty in the piece, very moving. "You left your cross on the pillow and your nails on the nightstand." Loved that line! I also liked the framing of the last stanzas with the beginning and middle lines-it reflects what you were saying prior to the end, but in a different way so it is not just repeating. Very nice, as always.

I love this piece. It takes you away on a road of love. It's light but sets in deep. I like your corlaltion with regret and forget and how they can be complete opposites. It carries so much emotion within it as its not just a set of words on a page.

To feel this pain everyday is a sorrow unlike any that just one ray of hope can wipe away. But I think I understand. You are one of many..though not recognized as you are...touched but not felt by one so close. Left behind as a memory to one..but feel that one, as close as the dust that collects on one empty pillow beside you. Pounding strength flows one moment with pleasure...only to become weakened as it bleeds from the weeping stream that pools upon your hands. Every word you said has meaning, though that's what I read when I continued down the page. :)

Masterfuly writen, such raw soulful yearning scourches my heart. As you supress your emotions for this someone, remeber someone out there pushes and locks their longing for you away daily.
