Well this ones a little different then what I usually write, but I wanted to try something different. tell me what you think and please be honest if it sucks tell me please!! I'm thinking of calling it something like The most meaniful tears or The bittersweet truth. comments, critiques and title suggestions appreciated. thanx.
I awake to the sound of my alarm screaming at me.
Theres no need to look over, I know its 1:38 AM.
You go off every nite, at that same time.
You do so cuz I tell you to, I want you to.
You and you alone I can depend on
Its you you alone who awakes me from my nitemare ridden sleep.
When I awake its up to me to decide,
Do I pick up the phone, or into the blackness do I subside?
This time is different I tell myself,
But it isn’t and I disappear once again.
And when the sun rises and morning comes,
I’m ashamed of myself, for the enemy has won.
The day progresses, slowly and wearily,
Then nite falls as I crawl into bed drearily.
Now I hear you sound once again,
It’s then I decide this has to end.
I’m tired of not knowing and being afraid.
As I pick up the phone my hand starts to tremble,
I dial slowly for now I cant control the shaking.
I hear it ringing, then a familiar voice.
Then the tears come pouring down.
I remind myself you’ve made your choice
The words hello echo and finally I answer,
I sense the surprise and confusion.
I wipe my tears and take a deep breath.
I finally did it, I faced my fear
But I know it’s not over yet,
And I have not shed my last tear.
Still, a lesson learned you can not forget,
This will be one tear I won’t regret.
