Answer me
Answer what I ask
Not because you owe me
But because I need to understand
Why
you're here
Why you want to be back
And while you guiltily say
I
shouldn't
have
You are still here.
Answer
me
Tell me why you're here
So I can tell myself
Why I'll be okay
There's no hope
That this is because
She
Is gone, left you
Broke you in those days interim
Because it's too late
It's too late for me to caress
That hurt away
When you brushed me away
So now you wonder how I am?
Now you want to know the breaks
in my heart?
The scars you've made?
This is the habits of damage
This is the psychosis of desperation
This is me checking
What are you doing here?
Like an ill advised summon
You make yourself impossible to ignore
Or avoid.
A head on collision
on a bright and perfect
sunny day.
I woke up today proud I didn't let
the lowered inhibition of
a bottle of bubbles
get me to see
a miss call
that wasn't a dial
And all it does is leave me full of questions
you can't answer
and want details that don't matter
I don't want to let you in
And let you see that this
head on collision
Is after a perfect,
bright sunny day.
One that I've spent all 54 days
since we stopped talking
to put together
51 days after I got out of bed
half a stone less
And 20 days since I got through
You loved my body
In a way it had never been
before
Admired
and appreciated
An artist's eye
For the unique and strange
You loved my body
Imperfect and yet whole
Under you eye
And I fell in love with you
through the love
you showed by body
The skin I was in
Not the skin you hoped me to be
The soul within
You loved my body
And when you stopped caring for me
You left me in divorce
With my body
A stranger in the mirror
That I find everywhere
I look
And shed
fat
heavy
tears
Everytime I try to love
this body.
In painful imperfection
You demand presence
The unbearable criticism that rattles
Against backs of eyes
Useless mantras with every blink
You can't tell
The rattling, the rumbling
rollercoaster that hits every bump
Slid under the covers in the night
Waking me to the raucous
tin
tinna
tabulation
of voices not my own
brakes that don't work
Immobile passage of time
While I lie here in bed
Days sneak past
And you can't understand
You can't hear the painful
Concerto of inner discourse
A rumbling overture through my stomach,
Clawing up over my shoulders
Prickly little feet that tap dance
Around the back of my neck
Stoking an anxiety that
Rips squ
Can't sleep
Because I'm afraid
When these
screens shutter shut
That I will think of you
At curtain fall
And the silver screen
in my head
will star you.
Can't sleep
For fear
that my mind will repeat
All those idyllic scenes
Of how we hadn't
screwed each other up
yet
Or worse I'll see you now
That girl I can't know
That girl will star ahead
In the TV screen
The movie screen
Every screen
In my head.
Where did I lose you?
In all the time that's passed
I seem to have forgotten where
I put you
From thinking we'd be great
And shine
Still bright
Shiny and new
To finding myself now
Strange
Like old glue
All that hurt
And words I won't use
To describe my past
Like abuse
To forgive
Myself
For letting go of all else
That strange
Dip
In knowing my reflection
To thinking
And saying
I need you near me
A desperation I can't
Quite believe
I think of you still as the sun
In dance with the clouds
Passing under you
An idea you've harnessed their
wispy beauty
But I smile
For all those that have been the clouds
I've always grown
Under second hand
sunshine
I've always been rooted
Toes in dirt
Memories flicker behind
Ideas of who we used to be
And I recall with weathered fingers
How familiar your face used to be
The tears that have been shed
Now come and gone
The things I remember now is the shape of your
Shoulders
Under someone else's hands
And the way it felt to turn
Weight on heel
Away

My return here is highly unlikely. I miss the community dA was when I first started, I can't say much for it's evolution as I have not been part of it or had real time to witness it. I regret not having the time to develop this part of my life with the direction my life has taken. It kills me in some ways that I am still in school, not onto a job yet. How my friends have all but vanished into mist because I disappeared on them. I wonder if my subconcious likes misery.
Dear, dear. It has been quite a long time since I've been here to write. I miss it -- it's rather unfortunate I am so busy.
I just flipped through the few glimpses of my life I've posted here in the past years. March 17, 2008. In a few months that will be 3 years ago. So much has changed from that weekend. I've suddenly known my friends from my last school for four years.
I still miss them. If now, more than before.
Life is clear to me when I realize that my life is solid. Realizing that you are worthy of attention -- and not in the pretentious "everything is about me" or "I'm fishing for a compliment" kind of way. Just a genuine confidence where it isn't necessary to shove it down everyones throat that you think you are GOD INCARNATE. (You aren't for the record.)
.... I so do hate those types of people.
Right now, living the quiet life is perfect for me, cut out the drama. i have wonderful friends who I am grateful for and minus a glitch or two, things couldn't be more nice.
=)
God (whichever one, whatever you believe in) bless.
