bitter as they tasted
a.k.a. letting go of arizona
(a spoken word)

~
if i had a penny for your thoughts
i'd be rich
all those words inside your head
you made your bed
smiling all the covers
tuned to voices of dead lovers
one to tell
your hell to

but those secrets were not for me
how was i to know
i was not the puzzle peice
even though you swore
the world tilted and stars aligned
i was yours you were mine
then forever came
and went

i still look up in the sky at night
all our stars in sight
wondering if at the moment so are you
thinking of me too?
not out of blue
but because i meant a little something
and your heart it hurts a smidgen
just for me

you see that makes it easier to digest
when you serve a dish of hurt
not even in my wildest dreams did i ever find us here
dodging bullets
made from ink stains
we were everything i thought
that all the other heartaches
never touched

but you hid in all the places others left behind
amongst the nighttime scars
they were deeper than who knew
i was ready but not you
and to think i put it out there
and you threw it in my face
of all the things that i saw coming
never once

how could i have been so wrong
disguised miss taken bliss
to make me question my own sanity
the vanity
creeping in and like a thief
stealing everything within your reach
all that truth of mine
you took

a journey carved a thousand years
i thought that was your hand in mine
all that time
it never crossed my mind to see
if you were still there standing next to me
i'm not bitter you're the quitter
in the end
only me

so yet another peice of heart i gave
there is only so much left
not giving up or in on love
i just need some time to breath
and for every tear they say i've wasted
bitter as they tasted
i cried each one
for you.

A picture maybe worth a thousand words, but tears speak more.....

Verrrry nice :-)

Balanced so perfectly on that fine line of loving truth,,starting to stagger,,sway,,,somethings off a bit...Its the lies he fed as you slept alone in your bed,,those pleas for help,,to keep your sanity,,and in its end,,,,we just descend,,,,deeper into their unknown thoughts of all we put-in,,,and all they tookout..

I really like this one. Thank you for you skill with words.

I can hear this being done audio...a great piece, it fit's like a "puzzle"...no pieces missing.

I love it Bastest.
Very expressive.

he's made me tear on more than one occassion
with a picture and a style, Up2Us' invitation
and the night time twinkling bugs
Fireflys with smiles and hugz
i say thank you

posse knew that it was time
Soufie always has this back of mine
and iam4u knows the realness
for the hearts that remain fearless
i say thank you

kind words indulge me tazzops
but it's to you i take my hat off
and sadie what can i say
i feel your heart most every day
i say thank you

and rowbaby it means much
that you dropped in and left your touch
i say thank you

Sadie, I was thinking the same thing as I started reading it...It would be awesome done audio, like kc does his..

Words well placed and expressive

Wow Kat!! ...I absolutely loved this! Masterful! Both in its wording and in how I can apply its meaning to events that have happened in my life. If I ever had the chance to, THIS, I think, is what I would want to say to her...Really hit home!!

poppashroom, cool name hehe ~ the words just came out exactly like this, and voila! thank you and welcome to you!!

bry ~ thank you so much my friend!! this is one of those times where we wish someone could not relate. it's a wicked world, at times, we live in. it IS her loss.

This was really nice . . . made feel things I thought I had forgotten

Very very nice.

Niiiiice! Somehow it reminded me of what I read a long time ago, to hold on to your divine blush, your innate rosy magic, or end up brown. Once you’re brown, you’ll find out you’re blue. As blue as indigo. And you know what that means. Indigo. Indigoing. Indigone. :)

thank you mig, inspiration from those hard to look at places.

thank you wordwalker, for reading my wordjogger.

and thank you red, you have the divine blush and innate rosy magic
