For Her

The last poem for "Elle"... she came back and killed me the final time...

Your words begin to sting

My eyes close slowly

The bad tidings wash over me

My emotions weighted down

Like water filling my lungs

Going through my nose

Making me sink lower and lower

The final dagger sinks into my chest

Dragging it down over my beating heart

Piercing and killing the beat

My veins running cold

The poison flows through out my body

Your words roll smoothly like oil off your lips

Smiling as though you taste a sweet honey

That tickles your tongue 

You curve your lips

Forming a smile across your angelic face

Your eyes glisten with joy

My body wants to hit the bottom

All the lies and things you told me

I was the last to know

You were with him the entire time

I never even knew your real name

I try to smile

Hide my true feelings

I still forgave you

Told you we could still work though it

I loved you unconditionally

Your touch isn't the same

The warmth is no longer there

Just an awkward silence

I feel like I can't tell you

How deeply I care for you

Like if I even hinted to the feelings

It would ruin your happiness

I can bare the tears 

I will carry the sorrow 

Choke back my sobs and smile

Lie between my teeth

Tell you I'm happy 

Yeah, I'm ok

Keep my distance 

Watch from behind the glass

As you go into his arms

Wrapping them around your body 

His eyes finding mine

An evil smirk on his face

The look of triumph

Masking his face

Hanging my head low

I know I will never have that chance

To be with you

My dreams crash down 

Like a cold wet blanket

Thrown over my whole body

Keeping me down

Pushing me to the bottom

Keeping me out of your life

If my misery keeps you happy

I would gladly accept it

Til the end of time

I will wait for you

Even if you never come back

I will still be here

Waiting for you

I can feel this sinking feeling, the weight of love and hurt omg.. this is exactly how I felt when my ex spoke to me after we broke up.. to check on "How I was doing" but the entire I time I was in love with her and I knew she now loved my best friend. Like I can so relate to this poem .. there's so much pain, cause its not only heart break.. its a million thoughts and emotions rushing in n out of your head. Regret, Guilt, love, Fear of giving into her/him again... Like there's so much at stake for you to keep it together.. this is perfect and at the end you still wait for them even though you know they're never coming back, is it cause we're stupid .. nah that's not it.. it's something i'll never be able to understand or explain even though I'm not the worst with words but yeah that feeling.. I loved this piece.. really touching stuff Winter, xox
