Cleansing Breaths

Beneath me I see you laying lost,broken,in pieces I wanted to hold you-to tell you this too shall pass I waited for you to see the beauty inside that only my eyes could see Beneath me you lay all your beautiful pieces glittering like precious stones All that glitters is not gold Or so that's what we are told I waited for to see I had the glue for all your shiny pieces But you never saw me Never saw the fire raging inside A quiet place to hide,a soft place to land Ignored the beauty in my heart Never once realizing that I'm so much more than meets the eye Instead u confused me clouded up my mind wasted my precious time Mistook my kindness for weakness You played me for a child a fool..decided not to see the beauty in the madness..what's wrong love? Can't swim? Can't get wet? Couldn't stand a little rain? Left me standing with what's left of my heart in my hand All while having the nerve-the unmitigated gall to say to me-i hope you understand Understand what I want to scream!!!! That YOU the king of kings has deemed ME beneath YOU,not good enough,lesser than? Look I have surviver things that would have killed most! And yet like the mountains-im still standing-stikl here To top it off-you decided to punish me and rub my nose in it To discipline me like you would an unruly pit No relationships or attachments you are leaving soon All typicals lies all crap all bull Beneath me you will still lay broken in pieces-i hope the jagged edges cut you like you did me In did everything you asked played by ur rules-only to end up dumbfounded, bewildered, and feeling like a fool This is the very reason I won't let anyone close-no one gets in Time after time...time and time again-i end up standing alone Watching you walk away with a piece of me in your pocket Helpless I powerless and unable to stop it Don't worry-fine I am and OK I will be I picked myself up straightened my crown-you can't keep me down Just had to vent,to let go,to release And let you know just how dirty I felt you did me
