sorry

you scramble
through excuses
trying to pick out the right one
the one that will make me stay
you pull it out
beautiful and shiny new
and all wrapped up in a bow
you present it to me
with that beaming smile
you know i find hard to resist
so i take a little peek
oh how i want to grab it
with both hands
hold it to my heart
and keep it as truth
i spend the night with it
and your bare skin
hot beside me
but i wake up
with a heavy heart
knowing
it was the wrong thing to do
i slip out the door

i’m sorry

    Yep, I know where you are coming from here. I love the flow. The end gives that deflated feeling, from both sides. Very cool writing.

  • Leda D replied

    thank you, deflated is certainly the right word for what i felt. x

    This is such a raw, emotional piece Leda. In a different way I have been here and the moment is so short lived. Things are never the same, never can be the same. There isn’t anything to say except your friends are always here for you….and always will be. hug for you.

    Oh Darling……I wish I knew what to say, it is easy for me to sit here and advise you. But at the end of the day you are going to walk your path, make the choices you do and learn as you go…

    I wish we all did not have to go through the heartaches we do, I wish all the decisions we made we could look back at and smile about. Alas, life is not cut that way.

    Take strength
    From those that love you dearly
    Be gentle with yourself

    Don’t
    Ever
    Sell
    Your
    Self
    Cheaply

    You are a beautiful woman that should be treated in the manner you treat others.

    Much care for you xxx

    It is the eternal hope within that lets us believe, oh so want to believe, that it will be different… sometimes we need to try one last time just to confirm its not… love this piece… xxx

  • Leda D replied

    that last time left an ache that i dont think will ever truly go away. but yes, sometimes you need that last time to confirm its not the same anymore
