Darkness I just want to be able to breath to inhale without feeling the fear and pain that consume me I want to feel the joy and contentment that I see in the eyes of people I used to know Things that seem so wonderful and good turn out to be another place I shouldn't be in The few things that are amazing and that can hold a light in my darkness are cursed as I drag them down with me People blinded by love who don't know what a destructive force the blackness in my heart and mind can be. People who think if they love me they can make it better I stand by and let them try to save me.. let them hurt by watching the flood of tears that I cant stop Instead of leaving and letting them have another chance at love without the haunting pain and guilt of not being able to save me I'm to needy to walk away from the only thing I have ever wanted I'm not strong enough to leave the love I cling to with everything in me but am managing to destroy I want to be able to smile just once and know that it isn't a mask. To understand that I'm not just getting by but feeling the joy. I cant even remember the last time I wore a smile and didn't have darkness lurking behind every word and emotion that I'd portray. I just want a time when I can sit back and exhale and do more than just survive. I want to be able to believe that things will be okay. Honestly believe. "There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness." -Friedrich Nietzsche [This message has been edited by rosepetals25 (06-04-2004 07:09 AM).] |
