Nodus TollensA Poem by Jennifer Pennington
Everything I give
Everything I am drips with a desire For you to understand I can see you You're crystal clear From behind foggy windows I glance, I gaze, I peer You look in I wonder...do you actually see? Are you telling me what I want to hear? Just giving the caged animal a treat? Something happened to me I can't pinpoint what I never thought myself to be fragile But here I am, nearly corrupted by the thought Knowing that all it will take Is one breath of deceit To take me away and Sweep me off my feet Off to a place I promised God I'd never go A place that would make hell Seem like a cozy little home Why do I do this? Why do I give it all Knowing full well That moderation is key And this isn't good for my health Why do I give you everything And expect nothing in return? Is this unconditional Or will I just simply never learn? I believe in something I don't think many do And I think I'd lose faith If you let me down too But I've grown smarter this time So this is why I simply request That if you let me down, do it gently Don't leave me locked alone in my head Let me know clearly Exactly whats being done, whats being said So I can offer you my blessing And leave you with my respect. I don't NEED you now, this i know for sure I don't want to be saved, because you're not my cure I just want a love so powerful, that it can endure The plague of narcissism that aims to tear away what could be mine and yours Just fight with me Please? © 2018 Jennifer Pennington |
