one moment, fleeting
each moment, precious
i bear the angry marks you left
like acid teardrops upon my cheeks
your voice like broken glass in my memory
glittering, sparkling, diamond-beautiful
and sharp at every edge
razors to my sanity
one moment, rage
each moment, terrifying
time lost between us, irretrievable
undeniable
landmarks passed, unnoticed
opportunites left behind
one moment, sorrow
each moment, painful
you left your ambition
and went swimming in your loneliness
leaving us all ashore
to watch you drown
one moment, forgiveness
each moment, hopeful
every breath you take is now stolen
locked as you are in your own mind
i cannot bring myself to hate you
any longer
one moment, pity
each moment, healing
each moment, precious
i bear the angry marks you left
like acid teardrops upon my cheeks
your voice like broken glass in my memory
glittering, sparkling, diamond-beautiful
and sharp at every edge
razors to my sanity
one moment, rage
each moment, terrifying
time lost between us, irretrievable
undeniable
landmarks passed, unnoticed
opportunites left behind
one moment, sorrow
each moment, painful
you left your ambition
and went swimming in your loneliness
leaving us all ashore
to watch you drown
one moment, forgiveness
each moment, hopeful
every breath you take is now stolen
locked as you are in your own mind
i cannot bring myself to hate you
any longer
one moment, pity
each moment, healing

Great words, tho I do feel a little beat up now.
So when you gonna take up writing for hallmark?? I hear they're in need of an eloquent poet for their new line, "verses that hurt".
1. I LOVE THE CANDLES! Head's up: I'm doing all my xmas shopping at your shop.
2. I miss you terribly. I just realized that i haven't seen you in.....well I don't even remember how long! Wanna do lunch or something? What's your weekend looking like?
