No more words
No more
They hurt
And wound
And cut
And twist
I cannot think
My mind goes blank
How can it be
That I who stood
And watched you drive away for good
Be the culprit
The perpetrator
Of this great drama
That plays out between us
I want to slam on the brakes
Make it stop
Spin the world back to the day I was his princess
Wearing the paper crown
And fuzzy bathrobe
Smiling through fever
Because he thought I was beautiful
And now the king of my heart
Is dethroned
I can’t love anymore
Someone who loves with words
Yet in deed most unloving
An empty kingdom does not a princess make
And it is I who sit on a throne most pathetic
Wishing for butterflies
And bubble gum
Long rides gazing up at stars through the windows in the back of a Pinto
With the one
Who doesn’t remember that once, I held his heart.

ReplyDeleteVery well done!
ReplyDeleteThe words and emotions paint a visual that leaves me breathless. I agree with the girls it is a bit sad. My heart is saddened by the eyes that live that there. Inspiring. Words of the Bible describe the one true King but what I feel, words can only slightly paint a picture. Does that make sense? You have a gift to bring emotions from your words and deep thinking as well.
ReplyDeletePowerful!
