She Flew Away.

by Stephanie   Oct 2, 2008


Be nice, please. I know this is cliche' and terribly written, but I needed an escape and I scribbled down whatever came to mind.

````````````````````````````````````````````

I feel this overwhelming sadness inside of me,
It's slowly creeping inside of all these rusty bones.
Breaking me down; pushing all my weaknesses -
This sky has become so gray, no sun is shone.

I hide this face underneath the darkness of the night,
Slipping myself between the guilt and all the lies.
I'm remembering everything I've ever done for you;
All the things I had to bear and all those empty cries.

For so many years, I was your angel in the storm -
I was the little girl who could never do no wrong.
Well, as much as it kills me to speak up and say this,
But daddy, if only you could see me now - I'm not strong.

I'm falling apart; all these ribbons have untied themselves,
And I'm unsure of how to hold myself together today.
Because with no hand to hold, and all the lies to escape,
I'm not the same girl; No, I'm not, cause she flew away.

    by a broken smile with a broken heart is a poets life

    So much sadness in your words.
    I can understand your pain, but with my mom..

    Anyway your poem really touched me inside... it had me crying...

    "I hide this face underneath the darkness of the night,
    Slipping myself between the guilt and all the lies.
    I'm remembering everything I've ever done for you;
    All the things I had to bear and all those empty cries."

    A truly piece of art. the emotion in this stanza alone make my heart twist in pain, b/c i understand it so well. really this is not to much of an advice b/c there's really nothing to change..

    You let the emotion run wild in this one!
    keep it up!!

    "It's slowly creeping inside of all these rusty bones." --- That line absolutely amazes me.
    From the first stanza to the very last word, this was sopping with tension and heart-break. The cadence was practically flawless as well. (: I think this is a beautiful portrait of your heart in the moment, not cliche or bad at all. Beautiful job.

    Heyy darling. this wasn't cliche and it wasn't terribly written at all. uve expressed urself really well and as usual written a beautiful poem, that was sad, touching deep and powerful. i loved the ending;

    "I'm falling apart; all these ribbons have untied themselves,
    And I'm unsure of how to hold myself together today.
    Because with no hand to hold, and all the lies to escape,
    I'm not the same girl; No, I'm not, cause she flew away."

    i thought it was a very strong ending. u stay strong. keep up the good work. =) xo
