>IT'S ME THAT YOU HURT!
>Michelle Krysalis Bartley
>
>You sit there alone with your head in your hands,
>Silent tears falling like fine grains of sand,
>Never quite seeing that I'm right by your side,
>Locked in the sorrow you try hard to hide.
>
>So many thoughts just pass through your mind,
>Some sense of happiness you're hoping to find,
>While all of the while your broken heart bleeds,
>Not knowing I'm here to answer your needs.
>
>Your soul has been missing, gone so ignored,
>Listening to voices that begged and implored,
>To chase the mirages that fade from your view,
>Leaving you lost without much to pursue.
>
>With each step you've taken, I've taken the same,
>And with each gust of wind, I have called out your
>name,
>Yet still you keep following that loud static sound,
>Leading you out to the hard, earthen ground.
>
>I've watched as you've fallen and cried with your pain,
>Reached out my hand to you, time and again,
>Desiring so much that you would see me there,
>To heal and love you, to end your despair.
>
>I've spoken with words that you seem not to hear,
>My breath only brought you much trembling and fear,
>While inside I died a bit more each day,
>As I carried the burden while you faded away.
>
>In sleep you have stumbled alone in the dark,
>Each time you've denounced me it has left it's mark,
>Not in a way that's encompassed with pride,
>But somehow much deeper, someplace deep inside.
>
>I have reached out to touch you, my hand on your cheek,
>Have felt how you trembled when feeling so weak,
>Have gathered you up in my soft, warm embrace,
>You did not even know it when your pain I erased.
>
>While each time you whispered you wished you were dead,
>I am the one, who you're killing instead,
>For each time you say that you don't love you,
>You're saying it's ME that you're not loving too.
>
>So the next time you say that you hold no worth,
>And each time you curse your very own birth,
>Remember it's my heart that you truly break,
>For it's our very love in which you forsake!
>
>And the next time you feel alone and afraid,
>Turn around and look up at the love, which we made,
>Reach out and take hold of my outstretched hand,
>Give our love some time so you can understand.
>
> Post Your
>Poetry at Beyond The Bridge Also!
