No Explainations.

by Brittany   Aug 2, 2007


We let the past go,
But it's coming,
It's creeping back here,
With all the secrets,
You're letting out.

We shut the door long ago,
It's slowly swinging open,
Broken pieces aren't mending,
They're merely making sense,
And the shadows are receding.

When I fell in love again,
Those dark spots didn't erase,
They were just less important,
Now they are disapearing,
But that doesn't change us.

You've managed to confuse me again,
To open envelopes long ago sealed,
No, not the love we lost,
But the acceptance I had,
It's been distorted.

Can't believe all that was there,
The whole time I cried,
Can't believe the wall hid it,
I can't believe you lied,
Or let me make my own terms.

How did you stand it?
My tearful goodbyes?
My sobbing cries?
I don't understand,
Where was your pity?

Life was long and hard,
Winter made me numb,
But not numb enough,
Not dumb enough,
To let go of unexplainable ties.

You watched me hold on,
Listened to me beg,
Never did it occur to you,
That the truth was welcome,
That the truth was what I needed.

It's all in the past now,
Please don't bring any more memories,
Leave it buried in the December snow,
We've moved on from that,
Some things I don't need to know,
I don't have to know anymore.

At one time I needed to hear this,
That moment has passed,
There's new things for us here,
I found a wonderful boy,
You found an incrediable girl,
We rekindled our friendship,
And that's all we'll ever need,
So leave behind your explainations,
Just let everything be.

    Now they are disapearing,

    You found an incrediable girl,
    `Incredible

    But not numb enough,
    Not dumb enough
    `Those lines really grasped me . Simple, been said before, but in your poem just really jumped out . The flow was rocky, but the emotion was there . The ending? Loved it .

    I dont know why but these lines stood out like a sore thumb

    "But not numb enough,
    Not dumb enough"
