Breeze

by Emily parsons   Jun 4, 2007


I watch the branches tremble
As the breeze around me flies
Taking all the clutter
That's been resting in my eyes

A thousand nightmares disappear
Along with tainted words unsaid
You may think I'm absent-minded
But I'm stuffed of all you fed

But I'm hungry on forgetting
And thirsty for my fate
You made this bed quite perfectly
So now you must carry the weight

Of waking up each morning
To someone who doesn't care
That's the price you have to pay
For always being there

And when you go to take a rest
After losing the last attack
All the things too crude for you're ears
Will be said behind you're back

And after years of aching
Just to prove to you my love,
How much I really cared for you
I was still just Not enough

I dont forget the promises
Of protecting me from all I knew
Instead you laughed and pushed me out
When I had nothing left, but you

A taste of you're own medicine
Now it will taste undeniably bitter
But you wont be able to swallow
Unlike me, you're just a quitter

So next time you are sleeping
Think of me in that bed you made
And how the beauty I saw in you
Is slowly beginning to fade

A thousand nightmares, all of them cleared
As I lay back and rest my eyes
I wave goodbye to a memory
As the breeze around me flies
