I'm Letting Go by Kimberly Finley
I have made up my mind... I am letting go for the last time. I don't deserve to hurt like this, I am tired of trying to love someone who has no idea what love is. I mean, it seems like no matter what I do... the games you still play... And they have finally pushed me and my love away. You don't deserve to have someone like me love you... You were lucky to have me... And I am sorry, but that's too late for you to try to see. I feel sorry for you... because you don't know how to let someone love you. Therefore you are going to have a lonely life... And me...well, I have much love ahead of me, Because I am moving on to bigger and better things. To someone who'll want to love me instead of shatter me. After today, I hope to never think of you again, But you will think of me time and time again... Because I was the first person who really loved you for you... I was the first person that believed in you. I would've done anything for you... I would've turned myself inside out for you, But you know I am glad that I realized the real you... Because now...you don't look so great, And I am sorry that I wasted my time with you again... Thinking that we were together because of fate. You know, what they say about love being blind is true... When you love someone you'll believe a lie... And that is definitely one of the things I did for you. You almost had me believing that you had changed... But you know, some of us may never change, Because to change you have to grow... And to grow you have to love... And that is something you wouldn't know of. I used to think that you were sent to me from up above... But now I know that I was sent to you to answer your question, "What was love???" They always say to learn from your mistakes... And I have learned from my mistake of believing you... Because I don't think anything that you have said in these past few weeks was true. Why should I??? Lying is the best thing you do. Well...I am letting go... Saying good-bye... And as I look...
***************** An old Egyptian Poem
I wish I were your mirror so that you always looked at me. I wish I were your garment so that you would always wear me. I wish I were the water that washes your body. I wish I were the unguent, O woman, that I could annoit you. And the band around your breasts, and the beads around your neck. I wish I were your sandal that you would step on me! *************
Twilight Of Our Love by: Isabelle ? Our love dies alone in its twilight years Condemned to the empty eons of eternity I wander through a wasteland of anguish Driven by unanswered questions and Tears of desires lost in the ashes Where is the loneliness in our good-byes? The smile that danced in your eyes? Where is the sweet whisper that laced so intricately around my heart? The warm kisses that delighted me through the cold nights? Where are the cherished thoughts that danced on your lips? The love that lingered in every glance? So long ago, you kissed away my tears and soothed my troubled mind Now a mournful wind blows silence into my vacuous dreams Can nothing can be done and is nothing sacred? My Love, your face escapes me as our love slowly passes away Can we resurrect our Passions, Or must I become accustomed to the silence that engulfs my soul? ---------------------------- Missing You I sing rain Pouring seductively across November's ocean waves An exquisite trail of notes whispering subdued apprehension Searching the waters for your soul Listening for moments forever Desire rises and falls with the elaboration's of the melody Seduction bathed in my voice Rich tones seeking to entice Touching the hypnotic shift of the brisk swirling currents My song is a signature in the ocean wake Notes shrouding my suffering like floating ice Concealing the turmoil underneath the waves An illusion of serenity reflects in the cold waters Becoming a shadowy mask against its surface Broken only by an occasional echo of disillusion Tears both converge and sunder, casting light and dark Emerging and sinking back into obscurity Reaching for the human heart with a plea so strong It overrides both mind and will Anger and affection drain from my heart A vast tempest consuming my distressed spirit My mind struggling for a resolution to my stormy thoughts Things volatile and unsteady change with every breath I said such terrible things to you that final day Things I thought were the truth Things I thought threatened our relationship Things I can never take back You didn't understand Giving me instead a cloudy smile in return Shimmering into a patch of frost between us A dwindling apparition fading into dreamscapes I felt your love depart A somber plume of dust drifting past my window Leaving velvet darkness reluctant to yield to the light Your eyes cast a cold stony sheen that terrified me Anguish driven so deep it's unseen Spiraling like twisted horns deep inside Casting malevolent shadows on my face I find my memory of you has faded But thinking of you brings the ache and the need rushing back Hear my song And come back to me, My Love Let me feel your soul next to me forever I know I know I like to let myself suffer a while Before I finally let go |
