Broken Porcelain Date: Sunday, 2nd November 2008 @ 12:42:39 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: karoody I ask you about the coming storm You excuse it away as nothing Dirt swept under the rug I let go of a sigh The phone rings You turn your soul around To make sure the cracks aren't showing It's so sad the lies we tell To get through a day I wonder if you even know who you are It's been so long since I saw you Yet you're right in front of me I love you, to the point of agony But I have to love me to And I can't save you I must walk away You're not going to understand You'll resent me Hopefully one day forgive Maybe one day we can close this book And laugh at these cracks Instead of hide them This poem is Copyright © karoody Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
