Eh. No title this time. :-)

And with a flash of lightning


Everything changes


The longing, the hope, the flare of excitement


Suddenly turns to fear.


Awful, frightening fear.


Once you obtain the unattainable,


It's not pretty, shiny, new anymore.


Even the thing you dreamt about just the night before


Can become a burden


A chore-- once it's yours.


Desires are healthy.


It's scary to have someone wrapped around your finger.

The little things are what make up life

Each individual rain drop

Contributes in creating a storm

Every hailstone

Breaks another person's windshield

Equally, every single misfortune

Make the world what it is today.

To you guys

Dear Readers,

I really wish you all would comment more on my poems. I feel very discouraged.

Love,
Brigitte

Out

When you look through broken glass

Everything appears shattered

And your world is broken

Too many pieces to even count,

Let alone put it all back together.

Sometimes it's easier to let everything remain tattered and cry about it

It's not as if you can fix life

But when you take the easy way out,

Out is where you stay. 

How am I supposed to love you

When I have this much anger toward you?

How am I supposed to smile when I look at you

When all you do is disgust me?

How am I supposed to dream about you

When you hurt me so badly?


How am I supposed to love you--


When I hate you? 

It Hurts To Say Goodbye

Your smiles are my smiles
Your tears are my tears
Your broken heart is my broken soul
And it hurts to say goodbye

I need you in my life
But lately you're so far
We keep each other centered
And it hurts to say goodbye

For a fleeting moment you came back
You opened up the door
But then you fled, oh you fled
And it hurts to say goodbye

I don't know what to tell you
I can't respond to your cries
And when we rarely say hello
It hurts to say goodbye.

Painting

You keep me awake at night

My love

And you're not even here

My thoughts are invaded

By pictures

Memories 

Fantasies

Of you

In my head I create a picture

But it'll never be complete until you help me paint it 

I'm not going anywhere

Of all your problems you have had

And all that are to come

When everything goes wrong

When there seems to be no one close to you

Just know that time is only time

Distances are only distances

But love isn't only love


It's a good kind of control

You know I'm here, right?

Because no matter where I go

I'm not going anywhere.  

Be my angel

Tell me what I want to hear
Not what needs to said
Share with me your confidence
For I, I lack thereof
Be with me when I need you here
And I will always come running to you
It's so easy to let things slip through the cracks
Unless you're here
Be my angel
Stand in the caressing darkness
That I find so comforting

Never be mine

The hardest thing

For me to realize

Is that I'm not the only one

No matter how special you are to me

Or how I think I am to you

There will always be others

And you'll never just be mine 

You're not talking to the world...

Well you're not talking to the world

You're talking to me

Even though I could easily be your world

I care how you feel

What you think

What you have to say

Because I care about you

And all that comes with





~Why doesn't he see it? 

Dangling over an open fire

The one thing I promised you
Is the one thing I denied you
I left you dangling
Over an open fire
Hanging by a single rope
Without giving the one I love a second thought
And I'll never live it down
The fact that you needed me
And I wasn't there
Will continue to rip me apart
Forever and all eternity

Souls are nonrefundable

Each time we're together

My soul is whole

And each time you leave me

You take more of it away

Always going with a bigger and bigger piece

Of what keeps me alive

Souls are nonrefundable

Killing me...

And so I think maybe loving you was a mistake

A mistake that can't be undone

Because now I'm trapped

Trapped in this angst

This jealousy

This fear

This question

Of whether or not I EVER cross your mind

Of how much you love me

If you love me at all

You have this crazy way of mixing up all my emotions

Into a deadly concoction

That will end up killing me

Do you enjoy killing me?
 

Done

I'm nobody's fool
Nobody's bitch
So you can go fuck yourself
And fall in a ditch
I'm through with your games
Done with being nice, too
But what is more
Is that I'm done with you

Always and forever burned: An interior monologue

I reached out my hand, reluctantly. I knew it was scorching hot, but I thought maybe this ONE time would be different. Maybe the stove wouldn't hurt me. THIS time would be perfect; it would feel nice. So with every second, my hand moved an inch closer. But when I touched it, it
 was hot. I didn't care: I would adjust. It would cool down. But I was forced to jerk my hand away because it DIDN'T cool down. Stoves were always going to be hot. I don't know why I thought it was going to be different this time.
              I'd always
                      Get
                            Burned.  

If only

I see the flame
Dancing under my wet hand
Threatening to go out
But also threatening to burn me
If only I could touch it
Just once
To see what it would do
If only
I wasn't
Scared

Setting my world on fire

Everything about you
Sets my world on fire
It's so beautiful
But even the slightest movement
In the wrong direction
And everything
Comes burning
Down

Lost

Lost in a sea of emotions
I will show you how it spreads like fire
How it can feel as good as rain on your anticipating face
Or blow you into a tradgedy

In this cycle is love and pain
Trust and resentment
Anger and happiness
But I can't seem to learn.

Where do you go when you're lost?
Where do you turn when there seems to be nowhere?
Do you know where I go, Darling?
I always come crawling back to you.
