Seconds into minutes, minutes turn to hours, I feel you slip away, and it’s beyond my powers. Holding tight in fear, afraid to let you go, But you’ve been gone so long, I already know/ I don’t know what or why, but I know it fell apart, I do know why I cry, a suffocated heart. I wish there was a way to put it back together, The failing love I thought would last us both forever. Now it’s fallen to pieces, no more links between, Lately it’s your face, to me more often seen. The break up hurt me bad, you say it hurt you too, I keep on askin why, you say you wish you knew? It’s tearing me apart, killing me inside, It’s all so complicated and I can’t seem to hide. Maybe we’re meant to be, then we’ll be together, But if not I still know my love will be forever. You gave me something special, a feeling I never had, You helped me keep myself from always bein bad. You helped me to stay clean, made I was always straight, Filled me up with love, erased each drop of hate. I couldn’t wait to hold you and feel you in my arms, And know when I’m with you I can feel no harms. But like all things in life, it came to a screeching halt, And I can’t help but reminisce, and think it’s all my fault. It was a saddened lonely day, when we came to the end, Now I’m left bereft, for myself to fend. Like a falling star I came crashing from the sky, As I smashed into the Earth, I began to cry. Tears fell all the time, I never thought they’d stop, Fallen from the ladder, never to reach the top. Wallowing in pain, lost among my grief, Has got me lookin at my life in total disbelief. I never thought I’d stop, but someone came along, And I feel in my heart again, that she won’t do me wrong. Slowly easing the pain, you had placed on me, Blinded for a while, but now I start to see. I feel I won’t recover or ever again be whole, Left me with an empty space, in my broken soul. I dream of her when I feel weak, Some thoughts of you make it hard to speak. So I close my eyes and count to ten, And push you from my mind again… " If who i am is what i have and what i have is lost, then who am I? " - unknown Tryps |

Thanks for the replies  Aimster- you were more correct in the phrase "first write" than you know...lol. While this isn't exactly my first post...it was one of my original pieces that i wrote when i first started writing..many of my other pieces i have posted are located in the Dark Passions Forum if you're interested in reading more...again...thanx for the comments " If who i am is what i have and what i have is lost, then who am I?

This was raw in its pain and emotion. I've definetely felt this way before. Very good work. I think it could work as a song too. |
