The Pain Has Taken Its Toll

by Megan   Mar 23, 2004


Deep in my mind I dwell.
Each moment that passes I
grow colder, you've abandoned me.
But still I wait helplessly for your
return. The hope and pride I once
bore, has been drained from my
body. The pain starts to settle in
my troubled mind.

You wander back to me, acting as
if nothing had even happened.
I turn away from your view, salty
tears begin to roll down my cheeks.
You approach me slowly, placing a
comforting hand on my shoulder.
Again, I move from your touch.

I turn to face you, hurt and pain
displayed in my green orbs.
A wave of grief fills my mind,
as I reach for you, but quickly you
fade from my view.
Once more, I slowly descend to the floor. My sobs grow louder, as the
pain increases.
You've driven the happiness from
my soul, as the day draws to an
end, I find myself curled up, still
waiting for you to return to me again.

Days pass, and I never budge.
I've deteriorated into almost nothing.
Finally you return, and you're
horrified by what you see before your soft blue green orbs.
Your eyes grow wide, as they land
upon my body.
Laying there, lifeless.

Tears well up in your gentle orbs,
as you fall to your knees beside
me. You kneel down, and with the
back of your hand, delicately
caress my right cheek.
In your mind, you scream.
And your heart, cries out with pain
and grief.
You begin to wonder, why my
fate was so horrid. Slowly, your
gaze shifts up from my body, to
a piece of paper.
You then rise to get a better look
at what is written on it.

Carefully you pick it up, and read
it silently.
The tears that were present in
your gentle orbs before, now freely
flow down your cheeks as you
drop the paper.
Gently, it floats to the ground,
settling on the floor beside where
I lay.
The pain, grief, and sadness that
you caused me, brought me to
my end.
The paper that now laid beside on
the floor, beside me read:

"I've loved you with all of my heart, for the past months we've been together... But you've been
so distant from me. And now, all of
the pain you've caused has taken
it's toll on me. But just know that..
I will always love you no matter what..."
