Patr 7:Bitter Explaination

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.
