You stand and stare
arms crossed, eyes dark
waiting for the bitter explaination
you're sure I am to give.
The winds do quicken,
though the air is thin
and breathing comes no easier.
Looking back to my mistakes
to my regrets
to the things I said and did
the words I said to hurt you
and the envy that I felt.
You were so perfect
could do no wrong
so loved by all
and all along
you couldn't see
I felt alone
though you were there
can not condone.
I couldn't be the perfect girl
my jealousy was just too much
you didn't see ,you didn't care
I just gave up ,it was too much.
I wanted you to know the way
you made me feel
when every day
you'd open wounds
that couldn't heal.
And every day
was my own bitter agony
but even now these reasons
you will never see.
So I pushed and broke the chain
and ended things that had no gain
you couldn't hurt me
if I was gone
no matter whether it was wrong.
I didn't want to hurt you
I just couldn't make me stay
and all this anger and confusion
hard as I tried not held at bay.
A sigh escapes your lips
you know it's true
you can't forgive this too does hurt.
You understand
that you broke me
long before I broke the things we held
within ourselves
within our hearts
In the dreams so far gone lost.
The world is chilled within these thoughts
these recollections
the hell we've given and returned
the love we forgot to remember
within the hate
the sorrow we created
the prison that we cast
with our own hands.
This was just awesome. Great imagery. I think i loved the stanza "So I pushed and broke the chain..." the best.
As for the series as a whole, it was wonderful Nicole. I enjoyed reading it through, seeing the progression of the story and such. I enjoy reading your new works. I think your writting will continiue to progress, and evetually you will be an amazing poet(not that you aren't great as it is). So keep up the writing, I'll always be watching from somewhere.
By the way, I am having trouble on chosing a favorite part in the series, but i think it may be part 2.

(oh wow the pancake pro, mmmm they look so good, sorry there is an infomercail for it on tv, i thought thhe pancake was rubber eggs)
