thanks for nothing
by Christel Crews
And you leave me
wanting what you will not give
untapped emotions, tapped
reminding me of what
I am without
Its not you that I will miss
but the void you have graciously
pointed out
desires I have not had in years
flood my mind
I was content
and now
I am left wanting, craving
A glance, a touch
from someone who cares
time and attention
of someone who can see past
the walls I've built
Did I let down my guard
or somehow, did you jump the hurdle
only to run out
your actions have screamed louder
than your words
And I am no longer listening

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 04/16/06 at 04:19 PM It's all good (the poem, that is),but the line "but the void you have graciously pointed out" really caught me - that biting "thank you" said with just the right kick. |
