Under My Own Skin.

by Brenda   Sep 13, 2009


The forecast is predicting thunderstorms.
but the rain had started long ago.
when you poured out millions of lies.
I believed them; every word.
almost as if they came from my voice.

so with these new showers;
pounding down on the hardwood floor.
trickling down my young face.

remember to slam the door.
. . .
it'll help me realize; that the worst has yet to come.
I'm left with all these memories.
but your touch will rest in peace.
as pictures can't keep the tears at bay.
& old gifts are stored away.

the forecast is predicting disaster.
I'll seek shelter under my own skin.
away from all these lies I have lived.

    I dont care how it's written. poems are written to make other people feel good, or anyhting like that. you write how it makes you feel at the moment you write it, i really enjoyed reading it. thought you did a fantastic job.
