I didn’t see it coming

Advertisements

The force of it sent me flying.

I couldn’t feel the pain because I couldn’t believe my eyes.

The ringing of my ears and beating of my heart didn’t help quite my thoughts.

Was this it, the moment that would break everything I’ve built.

I couldn’t stop being concerned about how you were even though I was the one in pain.

I struggled to get up, for this couldn’t be real.

My heart is not laying there on the ground, ripped out by the chain that connected it to yours.

For the last time our hearts beat as one as  my body slumps to the floor and our time together is cut short.

You look down and a tear falls as you turn your back on me.

It takes some time but my heart starts to repair and as it crawls back to me.

I take my first breath without you and I stumble as I get up again  and I cry for you.

And days go by and soon I’m strong enough to go on without you.

My heart beats a new song and as it pulses through me to reach out to the next person.

Who may break my heart or may hold onto it for a life time.

My Guardian Angel!

Today I walk on the unknown path

And there I met you and I asked you to stay.

Soon we were walking the unknown path together and you had my back and I had yours.

Together we got through the tough times.

But, then the tough times began  to drag me away and you tried with all your might to get me back.

Those unknown moments were strong and fast and with a blink of an eye I was gone.

Lost from you forever and as time went by you never lost hope.

You knew I’d be back and this time you wouldn’t let me go.

No matter what happens when you save me.

You know together we can conquer it all and so you fight my darkness and you save me.

Because of you I not only found myself but I saw you for who you truly were.

My guardian angel, my light and you have always been by my side.

I just was too blind to see, I was never alone and I needed to trust you.

So I could be saved again and this time not let go when I begin to feel the pull of my darkness.

I don’t know!

I don’t know what comes over me but these feelings just start to grow inside of me.

Until I can’t bare to keep them inside anymore.
And so I vomit them out into an ugly mess.
It’s not a pretty sight, but once it’s out there is no going back.
I sit here wonder why I do this to myself or why I do this to others.
My words so naïve and innocent just trying to be expressed like there the victim in the end.
No clear evidence that my words would lead to anything but a mess that would be cleaned up.
But not before you hate me and become so disgusting, I’m blocked for life.
Your mind soon forgets me for the sake of your happiness.

The darkness swallows me whole!

There is no escape to this dead

that overcomes my body and mind

It leaves me not wanting much.

Everything I enjoy isn’t important anymore and as I try to shake it off it just multiples.

I can’t seem to think of a solution long enough to care if this feeling goes away.

It sucks me down before I can see the light on the other side.

I try to clear my mind but of what my mind is empty, just like my insides.
