I'm nearing the edge, getting ready to jump
Hoping you love me, will want to rescue me
One last glance behind me, searching for you
But you are nowhere to be seen
I'm scared to dive, for it's a long way down
But I can't climb up to you that high
The standards you have set me up to fail
There's no way but down anymore with you
Your rare words hold me in my place
At least the memory of them do
For you barely utter them
Except maybe in response.
I know my feelings for you run to deep
And I know I have to start letting go
For I know you are no longer mine
Even if you still stand beside me at times
You're scared to send me away already
It's been so short, who knows what could be
So you're waiting for me to leave by myself
And I'm to stupid to take the hint
I have known a true love or two
All of it slipped from my hands
And even though I know I love you
Your love for me is nowhere to be found
I'm nearing the edge, getting ready to go
Knowing full well no one will catch me
For you isolated me from all and everyone
Even though you don't want me either
I climb the rails of the balcony, ready to leave
Feeling as though anything would be better
Than never knowing love from my own man
Not being wanted by you
But I get back down and walk back in
Crawl into the empty spot in bed next to you
Knowing you will refrain from touching me
When I need your arms around me most
I know life never held a future for us
But you know, a girl has to dream
Even if that means being shattered all over again
Left broken beyond repair
I hope my love for you will eventually die
For I know I deserve better than this
But even now my love for you glows strong
Even though yours doesn't exist

PoesíaThese are poems, it's not a book! These short ones come from the dephts of my heart, and reflect what I go through. Some days are harder than others, as they are for any of us. I use my fantasy to write about it, and numb the pain a bit. I hope you...
