Underneath

Contributed by deadheadpoet on Sunday, 9th September 2007 @ 09:23:16 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry




You took something
fragile and beautiful
and destroyed it
Crushed it
Smothered it
in the silence
of what was
and now will
never be again
You knew when
you chose the path
you took
Danger and heartbreak
were everywhere
No one controlled you
Chemicals were not
altering your mind
You chose this road
carefully, methodically
Somewhere in the
recesses of your
convoluted grey matter
You lived with secrets...
with lies
The smile at me
the love you gave
was a disguise
of something
ugly that lay...
underneath

God sis, this made my eyes just let go of more tears. Im telling you it seems to be in the air... everything is falling apart. I am so sorry for you pain. I dont know what else to say. You poetry brings out the depth of feeling and emotion to the point I feel the sting right here where I sit. After tomorrow I wont be online anymore and I dont know when or if I will be back. Way to much crap has come down and I cant handle anymore Im whooped and beat about as low as I can get.

I do still have your number and I will figure out how to keep in touch.

I love you sis and if I could take all this pain from you I hope you know that I would.

OH hun, this is complete torture put to words. It all seems
so ..... hopeless. That word swarms your piece and holds your
words hostage. Damn, sis. I am broken from reading this. I
WISH, with everything I am, that I could take this away somehow.

That you, or anyone would have to travel down a path overgrown
with hurt and betrayal is unthinkable! We (humans) hurt
each other so damn easily and thoughtlessly. Leaves hearts
wondering why, you know? I hope in your OWN heart, things
are sorting themselves out. I know this is one of the hardest
things you've had to endure and I admire your perseverance,
sis. It is most precious. As are you. *hugs you SO damn tight*

peace, love and hugs,

~MG

It is never easy to look behind the mask to see what lies underneath.

Nicely woven.

as always,
