I'm Not Eating Lunch Today

I'm not eating lunch today
Since I just fell off from a cliff.
I doubt that I can return in time
Because my tears are too heavy to be moved.

I screamed at ten thousand feet down
Here, wishing for your help.
Yet you just stood at the edge of the cliff,
Scolding me for being so useless.

I gave in out of weariness
And started to make my way of return.
Each step seemed so difficult,
With my broken heart packed in my bag.

The wind-dried tears became stiky on my cheeks
But I kept climbing, hoping
That you'd be there at the top waiting
With the familiar smile so warm.

Soon I started to bleed since the
Stone of misunderstanding scraped my
Hands and knees hard.
But I kept climbing until

I reached the top and stood
At where you had stood at.
Then I quietly found out that

You had just left and had
Moved the house another
Ten thousand feet away.

Kind of sad, right? This was written for my mom after a fight before lunch. I showed this to her in the evening and she said she'd stole a star from gods if I asked her to. We smiled together, and the fight was over.

it was well written, but the title seemed like it didn't match, i could just be missing the point of the poem, anyway, it was really good =]

a sacrifice of love, well done, i thought, when i frist started reading it, that it was of another kind of love. me and my parents fight, (in fact i don't know who hasn't) but we never fight for long, i'm too forgiving and easy going, lol. i liked it, it gave my personal reality a stark twist.
