[bodytext] => I used to talk like I had come from a different world A place that someone else’s imagination had made With a different language and blind eyes that could see Where my feathered wings had been taken away from me I would say that’s where the pain comes from, the blades But you’ve got the scars to prove its true Whereas I just have freckles to show I only played What am I, in comparison to you? A girl who flirted with rebellion and stayed home My halo was made out of curls and twigs But in your eyes I see the reflection of gold Tell me the truth, say what you see I saw my face in the shallow pool and told myself I would fly one day, to where I was supposed to be Yours were taken, from where mine never grew And one look tells us both I am going to travel south Would you mind too much if I just walk with you? I’ll crawl too if you have to, just to have your company Even though I know you belong where I can’t reach That I am only going down, traveling with you makes it look less steep What say I, in contrast to you? Please look at me, and just give me enough light to close my eyes As haunted and scared as I am, its so tiring to sleep being me My freckles pale next to your white skin, and I remember I lied Falsified the truth for so long, to only realize what I feared The world I wanted was in book on the top shelf It wasn’t meant to fall open at my feet Failures aren’t meant for the sky, but that doesn’t mean That I couldn’t walk awhile beside you, for a moment Or until you reach your destination, just please Give me the chance to remember who I am To feel the tranquility and truth And still be headed in the right direction As long as its with you… [comments] => 0 [counter] => 89 [topic] => 2 [informant] => Marrs [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
