Array ( [sid] => 115444 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Breathing [time] => 2006-02-26 17:49:38 [hometext] => I wrote this for my ex. Please commet. [bodytext] => [inhale]
tears begin to flood my face ,like a cup left under a running faucet well after the water has reached the rim,
My heart leaping to my throat ,
getting cough,
squeezing,
twisting,
tearing,
my throat contracting around the emotions that threaten to leap up and out of my lips,
my stomach rumbling,
wrestling,
knotting,
my hands quiver as i reach up to bolt the tiny tear drops,
leaving footprints down my cheeks,
the pain that awaits me suddenly seems like a pilgrimage,
one foot,
next foot,
step,
step,
I see you,
[I see her]
you smile,
i smile,
[she leaves]
you ask how i am,
[i lie]
I reply that I'm fine,
[even though my heart has just crept into my mouth and is jumping up & down like an olympic diver to hit the water]
I want to say that i miss you,
to let you know that every moment i'm awake,
i think of you,
i want you to know that i miss your arms ,
your smile,
your lips,
I want you to know that [i'm incomplete]
my body hurts,
and that my soul bleeds,
i ask how you are,
[hoping against all hope that you'll tell me what i want to hear]
you reply
[your answer not including that you miss me,that you miss my arms, my touch]
my eyes attempt to strip you down to your soul,
[searching for what i once knew so well]
they get lost,
[but find their way back to reality when they gaze over that [ever fading] hickey just above the collar of the shirt that she bought you]
my heart leaps off the end of my tounge,
wanting you to see the way you hurt me,
wanting to hurt you the same way,
my heart falls to the ground,
[she calls you]
you hastily say goodbye,
[as you trot over to her]
stomping,
squishing,
mutilating,
my vulnerable,
fallen heart,
[not even pausing long enough to scrape it off the bottom of your shoe, like a discarded piece of gum]
she wraps her arms around your neck,
brings her lips to yours........
[your ears turn red]
people pass as if i don't even exist
[i want to cry, sceam and shout]
i want someone to find my heart,
bring it back,
and piece it together
I turn away hoping that one day it won't hurt
[as much]
and hoping that i'll be able to call you
and have you come over to me
and be able to buy shirts that match your eyes,
[and leave the tell-tale hickey above your collar]
and be able to make your ears turn red from the friction of our lips
i walk away,
knowing that my heart won't follow
