You look at me with such wonder and amazement But I cannot feel the same about you anymore Your secrets are out like a leak in a pipe It once only trickled suspicion But now it has burst and suspicion is truth. Don’t ask for second chances The tape is worn off, the lies exposed I cannot be new and shiny like she seems to be I am the old car that ran well for years Never gave you many problems But the new one is so fast and seems like fun I only hope it is made of the same steel That kept me loving you for years. Good luck in your ventures Your shy little caterpillar has built her cocoon I’m immune to your words and promises Hidden safe in my shell Waiting to emerge again…for I know Someday I will fly. ------------------ Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |

You know...this really hit home with me. Each line said something that I wish I had at one point in my past. Well done, and thank you for posting it. |

I loved this piece!! "Your shy little caterpillar has built her cocoon I’m immune to your words and promises Hidden safe in my shell Waiting to emerge again…for I know Someday I will fly." Excellent imagery and symbolism. May you be soaring soon!! ------------------ Man can not discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore. |
