new year

cigarette and thinking

about you

park and the rolling stones

I want to call

but for some reason

I can’t

I’m scared and sad

as if I’m not ready

yet

not ready for this yet

what will happen?

I want to call

but I can’t

I’m not in love

I’m shaking, small

‘beautiful day...’ ironic

I’ve had a horrible day

ache ache ache

body shakes

I’ve wanted to see you

for so long

break don’t break

I’m not calm

I’m not strong

the world is shaking

the world is shaking me

it’s burning red

mean, mean red

A hundred songs fighting

a hundred tears hiding

I’m not calm and I

don’t want to say that

smoking helps me write

I’m shaking, shaking

waiting, waiting

I’ve been waiting so long.

I can tell this is a very personal piece for you; it's full of emotion, which I think is the best way to write, because it comes purely from the heart. Very nice work!!

this along with 'new year's eve' is one of the most raw pieces of writing that i've publicised as something that i actually tink is worth reading. it is a very personal piece and it is so great to hear that it comes across that way. thankyou for your comment

I bet you know what it feels like to want to cry but you can't 'cause you've already cried too much over the same damn thing. I've been staying away from everything that reminds me of him, but something always slips threw my defenses. This is one of those things that jumps over the the wall I've built around my heart. I appreciate it.

I know exactly what you mean and I am sorry but also flattered that this broke through your defenses.thankyiunfor your comment And I hope you feel better soon. I always try to remember that all the feelings we feel eventually go away and you will be happy again someday. Turn your pain into creativity !
