Array ( [sid] => 48040 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Withered Wings [time] => 2004-05-18 09:53:12 [hometext] => #13 in my Avril series, inspired by Naked. I feel like I'm slowly wasting away... [bodytext] => I lie in bed and listen to him breathe
Put on my face and hide from my feelings
Just trying to struggle through all these walls
One more day down
He doesn't see me or feel me at all
Never tries to understand what's inside
I guess I'm just a game for him to play
And so I've lost

Nobody else ever comes along now
I disappear, there's nothing else to fear
No one to hold me so I cry alone
It's a sad life
So afraid I'll never find the light
Growing weaker and I'm losing my sight
I've given up and I've lost all my faith
I don't dare trust

I've never walked this winding road before
My soul, raw and exposed
Sit and stare, I don't care
Look right through me and tell me what you see
My eyes, cold and vacant
Walk away but I'll stay

My head spins from the memories of you
Though I had every reason to forget
I'll no longer be anyone but me
Like it or not
Cover your eyes 'cause your heart might go blind
No one is giving me what I've needed
I don't fit, I've gotta go, hold me close
Don't let me lose

I've never ran so fast so far before
My heart, torn and bloodied
Rip it out one more time
Look into me and tell me how it feels
My touch, a withered wing
Push me away, I'll still stay

One more day down and
I've lost, it's
A sad life
I don't dare trust, like it
Or not, don't
Let me lose

Raw and exposed
-- I don't care
Cold and vacant
-- But I'll stay
Torn and bloodied
-- One more time
A withered wing
I'll still stay [comments] => 6 [counter] => 621 [topic] => 61 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

Letting go is the hardest thing in the world. As with the approach of death, step one is denial. Interesting writing. Fascinating really. Kept me right there to the end.

Wow . . . just, wow.

Still reeling from reading that one for the *third* time and am wondering if I'll ever be able to read it without a lump in my throat and wide eyes by the end.

Amazing. Absolutely effing amazing. Some of those phrases . . . "Cover your eyes 'cause your heart might go blind" . . . "Look right through me and tell me what you see" . . . damn.

I'm dumbstruck.

So much emotion in this poem
So deep, raw, and unadulterated.
Very deep, and captivating
Great Write
