Sick.

by Lady Nik   Oct 23, 2011


Sick--
of you, of me
of everything we used
to be. A lie inside ourselves,
but we can never face the truth.

We're not beautiful anymore
and these tricks have
been played too often. When
will you wake...and realize you
died a long time ago? When
will I realize I'm talking
to a ghost...

Sick--
of time, of wasted
life, for once can
things just be alright? Nothing
matters when the day
destroys the night.

I look for you in the
shadows of my mind, the
voices in my heart tell me
you're there. Nothing. That's
what I find repeatedly. You--
That's all I need to be well again.

Sick--
of now and then
closing my eyes to pretend.
But it hurts too much to
know the truth...

You're. Not. Here.

    I could feel what you wrote, my friend.

    I know who this piece is talking about, and I'm sorry for your lose, I really am, I don't know what to say, perhaps all words are just the same to you now, and nothing can consolate you, except for onething, maybe if she appeared in your life again, you'll forget this pain, I'm feeling you, Shanik, I have lost many dear people in my life and I know what it feels like to move on without them by my side, I just want you to smile and know that this is what life is all about, experiences, happiness, misery, pleasure, pain, love, hate, break-ups, coincidences but the most important in life is strength..you gotta cling to the last rope and fight to find what comforts you.

    Maybe my words just never make any difference to you, I just hope you might think about them a little and smile for a moment, thanks for the very sad read.

    P.S. I love you.
