Humbled




humbled to the point of breaking
I'm passing all of this back to you,
go on take it. I never wanted it
( I did, but I'm such a terrible liar).

All my glitter I gave, leaving my bones
dry and brittle so that you would have
light and color- my mistake.

I thought that what you were looking for
was in the sky -
so heavenly and out of reach
What you offered me was something akin
to nothing, with subzero atmosphere
and patience.

I waited.

Tell me now what it was you meant
when your lips brushed mine and
I swear I heard love flourish on your
breath.

I've turned my back and walked three paces
and still I cannot free myself
from your shadow
And this is where I fall to my knees and cry

I never wanted to lose you.

Very nice! *clap clap clap* The flow was great and the wording was excellent! Of course, I didn't expect anything different, yes? :) And the picture goes perfectly with it. Lovely job. :D

i loved the picture, it's a vision of the Lady of Shallot, a poem I really enjoy.
