Distance

I stare off into the distance.

Tears begin to burn so strongly behind my open eyes.

I finally heard the truth.

The sound of your voice lingers in my mind.

It's something I haven't heard in months.

I can't stop the tears from shedding.

I can't stop missing what we once had

and I can't get over how you finally spoke to me.

It's been so long.

The truth came out.

I knew what happened from the start.

The fact that I was right hurts far more than any other sadness I have felt in a long time.

My tears burn my face,

and my hands begin to shake.

I've lost complete knowing,

as I sit there alone and stare off into the distance.

Rejection. An awful feeling. We should learn to listen to our inner voice more; it can (sometimes) help easy the impact; if that's what is desired. However, it seems that some need that experience to grow. I can't tell if that's the case here but I'm sure it's the last thing on ones mind at the moment captured here. It is an emotional, ragged prose. I like the last two lines. I do that quite often. Of course in my case I could never claim "complete knowing." ;-)

Thank you ^-^ This poem is actually created for someone who lied to me about the truth when they left. Than one day I found out the truth. So basically yes. haha. But thank you again for the review. :) This helped so much :)

"Yuuurrrrr ooouuut!", he heard the umpire say. Then he slouched terribly as he headed toward the dugout. The only hope... pizza! :)
