hoping2heal Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Hi, I hope it's appropriate that I share this.. It's something I wrote awhile back when I was finally in the healing stage and reflecting upon my old relationship. [sIZE=2][sIZE=3][/sIZE] [sIZE=2][sIZE=3]Falling out of Windows[/sIZE] The last time I died, I fell out of a window. I'd been standing on the ledge The sun was warm, it embraced me as I smiled. It sensed my vulnerability, It engulfed the wonder that lived in two green eyes. I smelled something cold. Rain soaked my skin and tangled the hair on my head. The same hair that had been combed earlier by the gentle wind. I peered out over the ledge once again. Suddenly, I was 9 stories high. How did I get so high up here? I turned around to see your face, No longer was it familiar to me. Abruptly, I felt myself begin to slip. Did you push me? Or did I just lose my footing? I guess that's redundant, I still fell anyhow. No one caught me. I shattered as I hit the ground. My bones piercing through flesh and organs. My God..My God..what a mess. Vultures eyed me from overhead. Went to battle amongst themselves, Picked and pecked through what was left of me. Days passed, I began to decay Soon I was one with the gritty earth. Weeks passed, I started to grow again. Rebirthing in the soil, just underneath foot steps. Sun came looking for me, but I had changed. No longer such a naive little child like face. So sun went away, rain trampled me instead. Months passed, rain grew tired. It can't rain forever. I called out to sun from where I was planted firmly on solid ground -Misty Joy 2008 Hope this brings a little hope for healing to someone out there. [/sIZE] [/sIZE]
Thomas X Forever Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Quite interesting. Sad, and disturbing however. Bones piercing your organs? Yikes..
Author hoping2heal Posted July 28, 2009 Author Posted July 28, 2009 Well that's what the break up felt like to me. Like my former self had completely died, but then I re birthed stronger. Hence the ending of the poem That's why I wanted to share it with you guys who are having a hard time.
moo Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 That was truly wonderful. The words form a very detailed picture of what it is like to feel thrown away. I can really identify with that poem. Thanks.
mickleb Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I think that's great, hoping2heal. You're very eloquent. I love the bit about calling to the sun. The sun DOES come when you ask it to! I wrote a poem with some similar imagery when I was MUCH younger. It doesn't have a happy ending, though, so it'd be a bit irresponsible of me to post it here! Hey - that was 14 years ago and my life is so much better now! Still got man-trouble but the best dog in the world and my perfect job are decent compensation, eh?

Thankyou, and indeed Cept, I'm more of a cat person myself
mickleb Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Cats are great, too! If you can't love someone in particular, attach yourself to an animal instead! (Not literally!)
