New Poem: 'Pere'

I say 'new poem' as if I've been posting poems on this blog. I've been writing poems for a while now and in the past I've posted them on my xanga, and as facebook notes. Now that I have this blog, I thought I'd post any poems I write on here as well-not that anyone reads this blog. It comforts me just to know my poetic works are eternalized somewhere. Anywho, here goes...

~Pere~

I wish I could sever the line of blood that keeps us eternally linked

What good is a link without a connection

I hate this hold that you have on me, may always have on me

You don't deserve it

Absence.

That's all I've received from you

Yet you're ever present in my heart and mind

You've affected me

Made me stronger yet weakened me

You've influenced me

Who I was, am, and want to be...what I want from life

I want out.

Out of this emotional misery that resides within

I want o be present for my loved ones, my kin

You'll never know just how much you hurt me

Nor do I think you'd care

Yet you're the one I feel sorry for

You threw a blessing on the cutting room floor

You can never make up for what you've missed

The damage is done

But this is an ongoing battle and I look forward to saying I've won.
