I am my fathers daughter
as I walk I see your pain
emptiness
Loneliness
Break my heart, I will cry for you
for I cannot touch that which is meant to be hidden
You nurture it slowly
the slow burning within
to purge it you must let it out
yet your tears are held in a jar
on a shelf
up high
and even when you desperately want to
you cannot cry
I am my fathers daughter
I can see your pain
and I cry for you
I cry
Honey, this is... you know me so well. Muwah!
ReplyDeleteLoneliness is present, but you're presence fills the void.
I realize I am connecting this on a personal level. But, I cannot help it.
I am reaching for that jar, I am breaking it, I have you now, I have your shoulders now, to cry on. Muwah!
This is a beautiful piece. And, I can so relate to the lead here. It is hard to cry sometimes as it depends on what one has gone through in the past. I don't want to call it strength alone, but it is the detachment from sentiments that one develops as a reaction.
Keep on writing! Muwah!
As I read this, you're reminding me, or rather forcing me to correlate this genuinely nice piece to Ajey's "Cry".
ReplyDeleteI have always been a fan of unspoken words conveying love. It is not just gestures that can replace words, most of the time emotional reactions (which are arguably gestures) can convey so much depth of love.
Also, if I don't think of this "Aroha", even in a general aspect, affection towards mankind is felt in this poem.
I like the volunteering gesture of feeling someone's pain and helping them out. Coming to think that Christmas is fast approaching, this poem conveys the niceness in people.
Hmm, I love Ajey's preference to think that this is about you both.
By the way, I must write I love your name, both the blogger name and YOUR name.
Hugs and Kisses,
Jennifer
Darling, I knew you would get this, Muwah!
ReplyDeleteJennifer, you are such a caring person as well, I believe that you feel for others in the manner that I tried to convey here. I recall that you shed tears from the beginning when you started to read the songs from our Album "Fallen in Aroha" I thought that was very sweet. Thank you for your friendship... :)
p.s. I am rather fond of my name and the name Strawberry Girl as well, I put a lot of thought into the name Strawberry Girl... well I'm an old fan of Strawberry Shortcake, the doll and the desert ;)
Beautiful piece, SG! The rememberance and knowing of you both. I immediately remembered the picture on this blog of you and your dad. It's precious.
