IXI The Window IXI

by Natalie   Nov 2, 2004


The window's open,
and the wind is seeping in,
I grabbed the scissors,
put them on my lips,
made sure they left a scar,
I'm cutting the lips you'll never kiss.

Have you ever seen me,
seen me bite my nails?
They say I do it because I get
nervous,
if only they'd see how I get around you.

Winter is here,
although it doesn't feel like it,
because it is still hot outside,
but I wouldn't worry if I were you,
no matter how cold it gets,
I'll always be the one
finding ways to keep you warm.

I got closer to my window,
saw the grass below me,
it looked like a sea of green,
the light from outside illuminated my face,
I turned around to the darkness of my room,
it was like my window was the border between life and death,
I saw you trembling in a dark corner of my room,
What I couldn't understand,
was that you were on the wrong side of me,
Your rightful place was on the life side,
not the death,
you're whats keeping me alive,
or are you?
I really don't know.

I saw a fly stop inches away from
my tablet and my moving pen that leaves
meaningless words formed with ink,
I wondered if I could relate to the fly,
or if the fly would relate to me,
in any way.

I wondered if flies
could ever fall in love,
I wondered if this one had,
I wondered if it had ever loved someone so great,
someone like you.

The slowly moving trees caught my eye,
there were hardly any leaves left on its branches,
It saddened me,
it got me thinking about how lonely and naked the tree's must feel when the leaves fall to the ground,
it's like they're losing a part of them that had stuck with them for months,
and now they were left with nothing,
kind of like when you moved away,
it's like you fell away from me,
and I was left so lonely,
and believe me,
I felt naked.

The sky above me is light blue,
but far away,
it looks like a very dark shade of blue,
I would very much hate for it to rain right now,
it'd ruin the beauty of this very moment,
it'd make me close my window,
or close the life part of me,
and I'd stay in the death part,
forever,
with you.

Just like I cannot stop the
rain drops from hitting the ground,
I cannot stop these tears from my eyes
from falling,
and I cannot make you stop them either,
cause you're the only one who can,
I'll wait forever if that
is how long it will take,
for you to realize,
that you've been bringing me to the opposite side of my window,
the opposite side of life,
where you sit trembling,
looking oh so terrible.
