Katy - heh.. thank you dear. as always, most pleased that you liked it. deep eh? don't know about that.
La Signora Dragon - you know... everytime you leave me feedback you claim speechlessness. now, my dear, seeing as to how well i know you... that must be a feat. i can attest to the fact that you are very rarely speechless. oh and by the way:

Please do not wax the floors of this thread. It is quite unseemly for me to land on my head
Nice rhyme.
and yes i promise... no wax. maybe oil though...
SJ - well hey there. yep yep... decided to give this Inward Eye thing a go. glad you read... thrilled that you liked it.
now then, something new. not for me really. regarding situations that i hate watching replay whether it happens to me or anyone i happen to care about. bit of an inspired poem. be warned.... it's loooooong.
you deceived me
to be sure
let me believe in something so fantastic
i should have died
it's no grace of mine
that i live
you led me on
let me believe
you gave me lies and i must say
maybe i asked you to
maybe it was my doing
i think i always knew
from the first meeting
eyes from somewhere not real
the hiding of my own
the quiet, the fear
i think i knew it then, but
i could not name it
you were the one i meant to find
and i let you go
at times you'd come to me
when i slept
or on the day
you brought her by
i think i knew it then
i know you never did
but i hid my eyes, my intentions
for fear you'd know
for fear you'd see the thoughts
swirling in my head
because if you knew
then my mind's slight grip
upon my heart would be loosed
so that you would hear it beating
i was strong
i stayed on my side
but i think i knew
and wanted no confirmation
then you spoke
came around
dropped your hints
and had no idea what you were doing
no idea of the power you
wielded carelessly
i think i knew
but my mind lost its grip
on my heart
you heard it beating
thought it was your own
you listened to it
and thought it yours
i have no ill will for you
i have no desire to see where
you go now
because i know and
can't bear to see the way
your life moves
away from me
your perfect self
with that one human flaw
you didn't know
i couldn't give everything
and you didn't know the meaning
of my words
you let my heart sound for your own
and said you were in love
maybe you fooled me
maybe i fooled you
maybe i should have just known
but i got my golden moment with you
and i'll never trade it in
i will never release
the memory of your lips
or hands
or eyes
but let me not see
those same eyes
viewing me indifferently
but seeing her
the way i thought was mine
let me not see
you going aimlessly away
let me not know
how you don't need
or love
or want
or think of me
for a time the not knowing will
hurt me more
but in the end
my lies will be less painful
than yours
you deceived me
to be sure
and i let you
go free and let me die in it
knowing you live
and celebrating that
*pants*
