where the wild flowers grow

0 posted 2004-07-30 06:46 PM



There's no way to redeem myself,
no way to convince you of my worth,
if I felt I had any at all.

The leaves
are leaving
me..
They've skipped the Autumn
color change,
and forgotten
that I
loved to watch the orange
cry among the floor of dirt.

I beg
I plead
I fall on my knees and ask
what was it
in life that I'd done wrong?

What
could it have been,
what sin
did I commit to lose
all that I love and still
keep..
With fear..
I can't hold down
the feeling like
my spine is turning to liquid

..there's nothing I could say
to change what you feel is the inevitable,
no tears could change
the fact
that
I am simply
not good enough.

My love could not hold you like I'd once thought
it did..

And here I lie,
heartbroken in enraged silence..

The leaves
are leaving
me..

And I miss you still.

I really sympathize with this. Great write . . .

Wow. This really hit home, so hard.
It was so descriptive and the emotion you put into it flowed right back out at me.
I especially loved from the 5th stanza down.
Im at a loss for words.
Thanks for sharing, this is going in my library, so I can read it over and over.

Counting stars wishing I was ok,
Crashing down was my biggest mistake.

They've skipped the Autumn
color change,
and forgotten
that I
loved to watch the orange
cry among the floor of dirt.

I love these lines...so elegantly put.
And the last couple lines
very...beautifully tragic and I feel the same way.  

There's no reason I'm oversleeping
dreamin' my life away...I'm not sure if I'm still breathing so I'll put on a happy face
