I Stand Here In Silence
I stand here in silence and think of you.
Little notions of fairytales resound in my
mind as if we were somehow meant to be.
And as I seek all that I thought I sought,
as I think all that I thought I thought
I realize that I will never be good enough…
for you.
It can be lonely at the top-
Where all I am in a woman in need of
an embrace; a solitary touch of kindness.
But I am too weak to seek-
and I am too low to let go.
So I stand here in silence and think of me.
Remember my acrimony and will to always
be right even when I know I am erroneous.
But I am too pliant to be compliant-
and I am too unstable to be able.
When all is said and done, I shall be the
only one in mankind to be forsaken and
abandoned because of my vulnerability.
