Just Stop

If you would only stop long enough to look,
You will see that I am not well.
Harp me for as long as you want,
My body is stronger than I am,
And it will hold out much longer than my mind.

But how will you feel then,
When you realize,
You’ve beaten down the only thing that cannot defend itself.
The only thing in this God-forsaken world you realize you’ve ever loved.

I can see it on you,
Even though my eyes are closed now.
The guilt is written all over your face,
Like a white flag of surrender.

And you apologize...
Long after I’ve stopped breathing.
Even though I can’t hear it now.
A touch of humanity after it’s already too late.

If you’d only stop long enough to listen.
You would’ve noticed I was gone,
Long before you killed me.

Murderer...

Oh goodness!

A deep felt and scathing indictment against those self-centered, uncaring, humans that wound others as easily as waves breaking on the shoreline.

Very well done!

Wow, Mariah, you capture in chilling verse the reason to escape relationships like this. You may have saved lives today, I commend you for that. Well done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Mariah you have captured the depression and painful feelings of a bad relationship where only one person loves truly and the other loves from a distance. You have either lived through this pain or expereince it first hand because your emotions are so real in this write.
