Pretty Baby

A Poem by K.S.78

Pretty Baby

K.S. 6/2013

I scream ‘You’re all I need’,

and believe me I’m not that kind of girl.

Do you feel me on my knees,

or do you think I’m pretending?

Well you are wrong, you were all along.

You hide your rawness so well,

but I’ll show you how to feel.

I’m writing these cold words,

falling deep, alone again in this bed.

The things you need and want and don’t believe,

keep me naked, and without you.

You will make it through this rain.

I won’t make it through the pain again.

This is the start of a brand new day.

This is the day I will surely go insane.

Now, my self-esteem is not the same.

Now, without you my body blames,

my mouth for letting you go away.

Now, far from me, I am far from grace.

I can remember my hands,

warm again as you play in my head.

We are one I swear it’s got to be true.

I wonder where I stand at,

every night when you see the sunset.

Are you nostalgic?

Do you pass judgment as I stare,

at you begging with a hand of steel.

I have no time to argue.

No not today, your concern is tragic.

This is the day that stupid went crazy.

You were always so pretty baby.

Again you have written with such honesty and raw emotion. Your pain bleeds into each word, allowing me to not only read, but feel. I think this is a piece that many can relate to on some level. As Elliott said, we are all a little insane from time to time, and when the longing for another is so strong, it brings that insanity to a whole new level. It's how we deal with those feelings...and that is writing is such a good therapeutic release.
