nonsense2

by Jada Andrews - Capricorn

I see more in you than I see in anyone else,
And I read your eyes like the stars in the sky
Twinkling and shining their light down upon
this lonely little world.
*
Is it ok with you if I leave for just a little while?
I'm tired, and I really don't think
that I can take this world for much longer.
It laughs at me so.
*
and just when I think that there's no hope left
for me in this tragic little life,
fate throws me for a loop
and I wonder if I ever really knew 
what was going on
in the first place
or if any of us do...
*
Do you think of me as special?
Do you see me as worth seeing?
Would you know me in a crowd 
if I did not first seek you out?
*
And all these pointless 
words I write
are just an excuse to get 
a little bit more of me
out of myself.
*
So why don't you leave me here
to my words and my tears
to my pain and my fears
so I can become one with them again.
*
And I'm sorry if I misled you to believe
that everything with me was ok again...
Shame on me for making promises
that I knew I probably could not keep.
*
I wish you'd try a little harder 
to conceal that look of complete
disappointment in me on your face
It breaks my heart so much
I'm sorry to disappoint you so
but if you can't accept me
all of me
than I can't play games with you anymore
I'm just not strong enough...
*
And when I told (showed) her,
my better half looked so calmly into my eyes,
and didn't overreact
and I haven't decided yet whether
I was relieved or disappointed 
because I don' tknow if now I think it's ok
or I shouldn't ever again.
*
And in the end
I hope it comes quickly.
I've waited so long already.

Reason for writing:

    all the little clips of poetry that come into my head that I 
don't know what better to do with than to combine them into a 
sort of a poem.
