You Don't Know Me

I wish that I could blow away into dust,
bury my head in the sand,
that life could be drained from my veins
because you don't know who I am
~ ~ ~
I never knew that loving someone so much
could lock me away in a crypt of unending shock,
you betrayed me, Mama...for him,
I've learned the hard way, now I know the cost
~ ~ ~
If only I could erase my face
become the nothing that I am
to drag across the moon with crushed wings
then throw my spirit in quicksand
~ ~ ~
I wish that I could become the black on a grave,
a cricket weeping in the dawn,
I've crawled through dirt, bled through my eyes to make you see,
but, you're too blind to hear my song
~ ~ ~
Living in this house of you versus me, how loud must I scream,
how hard do I have to cry,
what can I possibly do
for you, to once again, know the real me inside?
~ ~ ~
How deep do I have to be cut,
how much staleness do I have to swallow
to finally make you understand
how broken I am, how you've made memories seem hollow?
~ ~ ~
Mom, my hero, where are you?
where is the woman that I once knew?
I don't recognize you anymore, and you don't know me,
just to make him happy, you've torn our bond in two
~ ~ ~
This is goodbye, I'll stand next to you in body, but, not in heart,
I was a fool to believe that I found a best friend in you,
but, we'll always have England, right?!
wait a minute, that dream is dead too
~ ~ ~
I wish that I could blow away into dust,
bury my head in the sand,
that life could be drained from my veins
because you don't know who I am

Melissa,
I'll bet she couldn't write a poem like this.
And your wrong she knows who you are and so do we. You are a flower that we paint our wings on and recieve necter from. You support a whole army of gossomer winged poets. Where would we go to rest if you were not there.

"to drag across the moon with crushed wings"
==============
my goodness Melis ...
this is heartbreaking, honest, bleeding poetry...
and you write raw emotions like few can
this one just takes all my words...
never let someone elses blindness take away your ability to see your own light...
and listen to Sweet Sy...
he is wisdom and truth
hugs to ya sweetie...
heal in your own words..in your own light.



Strange ... the desire for certain pleasures is a part of my pain.

Oh wow! this hurts so much....sad and lonely.....the most important bond of all should never be broken....I feel the tremendous pain in this work.....take care ethome

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.

I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."
