Words

I wrote this a long time ago, I just happened upon it when cleaning out old drafts. If you have read this before, I apologize, if not, please enjoy.



Am I so easily dismissed as if I were nothing
I look for the warmth in your words and find none
I search your face for a spark,seeking a glimmer, anything to give this heart hope, I find none
Your tongue is a double edged sword
It wounds, it heals, it cuts me
My soul is now laid open barren
bereft of feelings, cut deep laying in pieces
white lines from the scars form as it heals
Your voice soothes, it strengthens me
it calms, gentle on my ears it caresses soft as a warm
breeze flowing o'er my skin, and yet the chilling sound that assaults me is your voice, a coldness surrounds my body numbing my brain protecting me from the pain I feel. Your words once a comfort now wound, killing, they bite at my soul,claw at my heart, tearing at my skin
A trust weakened, the links like a chain stretched gaping still holding but pulling apart breaking away
I stare at you in wonder the gentleness I once saw replaced with a coldness,harsh brittle and unfeeling, My eyes opening now as if seeing you for the first time
Words flow from your lips easily once breathing life into to me. now sucking the very life out of me. Killing my being. I would cry but my eyes are dry, no tears fall, from them, denying me that little comfort.
I feel the emptiness of my soul. I wrap my arms around this feeling, I embrace it to me holding it gently, warmly caressing it. Smiling softly as I hold onto it my new friend. Everything we said , did, shared, wiped from your memory, deeply ingrained in mine. I realize now the foolishness of myself, so lost in you I lost me. I am so easily dismissed, I say now to you the two words that took me from my world of hopes and dreams to this cold reality now facing me. An aloneness fills me. a solace, a solitude I now crave. Two words so simple yet the finality of them still echoing in my ears. Now returned, softly whispered "buh bye" I turn slowly walking away ........out of your life...
