Dry My Eyes
by J.Sage (9/1/00)
protected by copyright

I hide the photo
Stained by us
You
A mockery of me
I run to you
In my dreams
I wake up to my own screams
I look around my environment
Cranberry murder visions
And it doesn't have to make sense to you
Because it does to me
Peel me open
And you'll find
The fetus of love
Aborted by your first lie
Or miscarried by my first tries…
To forgive

Forgive him, no
Less beauty within
Behind pretty blue eyes
Lie beautiful lies
        And although I don't believe
        In him I saw sin

But, the heat never died
In my head
All the emotions
Love made me dread
The fear
Of my love spawned cries
Caused my pulse to race
My temperature to rise
And my nausea to begin
Whenever you come by
This house
My heart
Is not a home
Without your lies
But I don't want them back
Shut down
Close up
I want to sleep in silence
I want to dream in peace
I guess it's time
I dry my eyes

its so hard to dry those eyes sometimes...but we can do it!....this is full of intensity, gut wrenching emotion...i do admire your ways, your words.

Oh how I can relate to what you have written so well
and yes those eyes are hard to dry
and when you think the tears are all gone it seems more come.
Great job
I hope you are feeling better soon

Hi there! Loved your poem!  

"Forgive him, no
Less beauty within
Behind pretty blue eyes
Lie beautiful lies
        And although I don't believe
        In him I saw sin"

This is simply superb!  I like the imagery you have in this... it says a lot!    

You take Care!

You know something funny, Tara.. and I almost made a note of this on the original post, but,....  that little section you just quoted I wrote over a year ago (about the same person, though) and I never knew what to do with it and one day I was looking through old journal, found that little section and was inspired to write Dry My Eyes and throw that right in the middle.  

Thank you!

-Jes
