And so it is… <br />Just when I think I am strong enough <br />To let you go without hurting myself <br />Soon after I am done being mad at you <br />And the things you said <br />When my mind is clear <br />And my head is high <br />And I have convinced myself <br />That breaking up is the best solution <br />…I start to miss you <br /> <br />And then bam <br />It hits me <br />Like a blow to the solar plexus <br />And takes the clarity out my plans <br />Flooding me with feelings <br />Long stashed away. <br /> <br />My chest tightens <br />My own throat chokes me <br />My vision blurs <br />And some nameless thing <br />Somewhere deep <br />Starts to hurt like crazy <br /> <br />And I cry <br />And miss you like <br />All those things poets say <br />And I think <br />Of what I would give <br />To hold you to me so tight <br />That I could breathe you in <br /> <br />And I think <br />That I can forgive you for hurting me <br />That maybe we can make it together <br />And so it is.<br /><br />nisha dyrene<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/second-chances-4/
