Waiting to Fade

Waiting to Fade

A Poem by †Tracey†
"

"silence allows fear in, where love grows"

"


More today then any other

my heart aches as I watch her

watching me, watch her


Like you, seeing her beauty

is evident

like me, my heart feels her pain


On the other side of the looking glass

there is me

a love in waiting


Do you see the beauty in me?

Is it evident how my every thought is owned by you?

Do you ever for a moment feel my hearts pain?


Today loving you hurts me

only for one reason alone...

Will I ever be allowed on the other side of this window?


Where ever you are...your body is with her

is your heart with me?

I feel forgotten this day, today, in the silence of my room


I see her, she see's me and we both turn to you

you see, I want to hold her hand

but it's me I wish you would choose


Waiting to fade

Wow.. I don't know what to say.
I f*****g loved it! Really, my favorite poem yet. So exhilaratingly beautiful, so dynamic yet so soft. I greatly enjoyed the energy portrayed in your words. A little piece of me melted.
Once again, great write :)

This speaks to me of two sides of the same woman, the light side that behaves how she thinks her lover wants of her light and goodness, proper, and the darker side watching but wanting to be set free to be herself, one with who she wants to be. The "good' side has the lover and the "bad" girl inside wants to be loved for who she really is, but for some reason believes that she cannot. Just a phenomenal write, if I hit the mark and even if not, it's a wonderful unique pen.

Must love be so complicated? It shouldn't be, yet we make it so... Is this love or the disilusioned desire for it? I would lean towards disilusionment, but that is only my opinion. I believe love is meant to be simple, but we foolish mortals tend to screw it up. I am no exception. You truly have a gift for presenting the mysterious without revealing much if anything, yet in a way that most can grasp at least a tiny taste of... Amazing!!

I too am blessed Tracey, thank you!
Very heartfelt and endearing. It's a very precarious position to be foresaken especially when it comes to love. Great job. This was a very eloquent poem. I really enjoyed it. :) I liked how the picture also represented the true meaning of the overall message within your poem.

After reading this several times and taking the evening to digest it, I have one possibility that, as far as I can tell, no one has made reference to. Mirrors are reflective so is she (you perhaps) really looking for someone to see her as she is or is she looking into that reflection and trying to find out who she is?

Subtle but then again from what I've read of your work...

Nice piece regardless of who's looking

Thank you Ed.. yes so true.. I appreciate you reading me and the wonderful review...xo
You show a tenderness and honesty in your selfish desire to have what another seems to have... I say "seems to" because you never know just what she has of him. He may indeed love you most but give you less...
A great poem! So real as to read from my memory...
Love it!
