Array ( [sid] => 110854 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Losing Myself [time] => 2005-12-03 18:47:13 [hometext] => Sounds like a poem of a tragic love loss, but think again! [bodytext] => Standing in the rain and
feeling my inner pain.
Walking in the shadow of life,
hiding behind a mock light.
Coming through the fog you’ll see me.
Close your eyes, count to three
and there I’ll be;
the girl with the broken smile.
I’ve been standing here all the while.
I wish I could just fade away.
Today is just another day.
I’m crying inside and nobody knows it but me,
as I stand in the rain letting my tears fall free.
Salty tears disguised as rain drops,
holding my breath until my heart stops.
I feed you lies,
I don’t deserve to be alive.
I really deserve to be caught in my web of lies
My dead flesh’s fate is to be eaten by flies.
Locked up inside myself in chains of depressing thoughts,
Composing poetry on the spot where your dead body rots.
Lying in the grass next to your unmarked grave.
I know it’s yours, for I can feel the love you never gave.
Your broken soul still lingers,
I feel the touch of your cold, lifeless fingers.
Rushes of memories haunt me as I
find myself floating through a nostalgic sea.
Particles of love I had been to blind to see,
embrace my heart.
I see now how it was me that let it fall apart.
Too consumed by my own despair,
It’s senseless that love and hate could ever compare.
Yet, that’s what I felt. I only saw hate.
I fear now it may be too late.
Too late to let you know I love you too.
Even after all the fights we had gone through.
I never realized until now how much I really miss you.
Thinking of what lies inside this dark tomb, it cannot be me
you view, and assume
the lie that I reside in the same room.
You relish in your lie of comfort, but I hide
in you closet of discomfort and disquiet of mind.
I see now how unselfish you were.
You gave me love I didn’t deserve,
I didn’t see it, I was to blind.
How I wish I could gather up this mess and let it rewind.
I know I’d do things different this time.
But I’m just. . .
standing in the rain and
feeling my inner pain.
Walking in the shadow of life,
hiding behind a mock light.
Coming through the fog you’ll see me.
Close your eyes, count to three
and there I’ll be;
the girl with the broken smile.
I’ve been standing here all the while.
I wish I could just fade away
into another day
where I don't have to reminisce
of parts of me I miss
and
try to find some life inside.

Losing Myself
