She's Going To Break Your Heart (In Time)

Written on a Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2002 - 2:29 am And she did end up making me fall and then falling apart.

For a night so cold that everything is a sheet of ice

I find myself burning up

I loosen my jacket to help cool off

But it doesn't help.

All I have is one thing on my mind

One question to answer

Nothing more

Even after slipping on the icy sidewalk

And falling into a pile of snow

White snow

Like the alabaster cream and raven hair

Of an angel's face that frames a devilish grin

Who is this girl who's dark eyes I find locking gaze

That look to go deeper than the pit in my stomach

A sinking feeling drowning my rational, pulling me in

Shaking my head, spinning and twisting

I come up for air and try to stand again

Why am I trying? I'll just fall again

Hopefully so

"She's going to break your heart." echoes in my head

As I'm slamming myself over and over

Into the wall of things that I can not say, but want too

How fragile I am, not knowing, not wanting to know

Not caring about right or wrong, but . . . when will I see her

Again. I slide. Foolish or not - it is what I feel that is real

I make my way back to my feet and into my house

The dream will sweep through me tonight like the last

Let the cold take tonight. I'll have my alone once again

A candle, a prayer, I'll fall into being silent.

It will speak volumes now.

A very emotional poem, I really liked it. I love how you discribed your emotions, it was so original. I could see a man with a voice of rationality in his head, though he ignored it so ignorantly. Very nice job, keep on writing.
