Jade
by John HarderI wanted everything
but received nothing
I watched for your face
and felt a strange sting
You don't come close
to that which is needed
Many a word
spoken to existence
has failed to do justice
to the one thing I lack
This is what you mean
I want it all back
Give me back my hearts desire
I don't like it
Give me back my eternal fire
I don't want you
Don't hold out any longer
I can't stand you 03/21/2004 Author's Note: I've found a suitable title now. what do you think?
This is rather odd. lately, I've been writing about invisible people. I can't fathom why that is. Perhaps because I don't feel real anger towards very many people, so I fake it.
