I stand beside this woman, but have not yet met her
I’ve spoken many deep conversations but do not know her
I’ve wiped her tears but have not consoled her
I’ve held her in my arms but do not love her
This woman constantly follows me day in and day out
She stares at me with eyes of mystery;
I’m scared to find out what she’s about
I feel a slight connection to whom she is,
but I just keep walking by as if she doesn’t exist
At times it seems she’s calling my name
but I just turn my head wishing her away
She’s always behind me with her head held down,
never making effort to over step her ground
Who is this chic always right beside me,
I wish she would go away I could use the privacy
One day I decided to question what she wanted,
her chest heaved her eyes haunted
Her mouth opened and a horrible sound came out,
my heart began beating faster my minds a cloud
I’m the pain, anger, loneliness, and lack of confidence you carry about
I’m the reason why your life can not carry out
I’m the reason for all the unhappy moments in your life,
I’m the reason why you bitch and gripe
I’m the reason you feel your not strong,
I’m the reason your innocence is gone
I’m the reason for the bitterness in your heart,
I’m the reason your love has fallen apart
Silence stands between us
No words can be said
Tears form in my eyes
My conscious dead
All my agony and pain stood right before me
No longer could I hide my life’s story
Why do you follow me, why won’t you go away?
Because until you know what your worth, I am here to stay
I want to be at ease, I want a normal life
All your days will be miserable until you make it right
But your right here in the obvious, just turn and let me be
Oh! How simple it sounds, but only you can see
You’re the one holding on, only you can set you free
I stare at her face, exactly curved like mine
I reach out to touch her, her eyes begin to shine
My hand lands upon her arm
My arm around her neck
I embraced myself this day
A woman I just met
*****
I wrote this the moment I noticed so much sadness, &
misery was consuming my life…I had to “Let it GO”.*
Pray for me!
