Poems By Leah Red
Leave Me Alone
Is the only thing I will ever ask of you.
You have not heard me say those words
therefore you have no clue.
I silently implore you forget I exist.
Yes ruthless my request, my motive is this:
What made me wake with joy everyday day. Keeps me awake at night, keeps sleep at bay
No smile when I rise, no gleam in my eye.
I know it will pass, its just part of the process
So I withdraw, back into my shell,
dust myself off, pick up what fell
Now hibernation is over, i’m emancipated,
Depressing insecure feelings that you created
are departed, not here, put out, cremated.
Then out of the blue,
A few words from you.
Why do you bother?
I thought it was through?
I have moved on
Because so had you
You made your choice
The decision disappointing
I already knew, you eyes had told me.
The sadness in them, overwhelming
It made me feel sick I couldn’t help it
When you looked at me they couldn’t hide
Your love for her, because eyes don’t lie
She must be stunning, with a magic charm
The signs were there, screaming ring the alarm!
I served a purpose now I see
To hurt her like she hurt you, you used me
I’ve ever only wanted you to be happy,
They say to hate takes a lot of energy,
but being kind is not easy,
To be oh so nice instead of angry
To wish you well instead of pain?
It simply goes against the grain!
How I could I hate you for not wanting me? Its no reason I think you will agree
So all I ask, in fact i plead, is that you leave me alone, just let me be.
The Puzzle
I am like a puzle, my appearance, body, mind and soul.
Complex, decieving, mysterious, or so i 've been told.
You will find it hard to make the pieces fit together
you will find it hard to see the picture.
Close your eyes then caress my texture
discover the real me, past the exterior.
When a part of me is missing, you can still see me,
i am still strong, you cannot annihilate me
occassionally too resilient, that is true
but what is strong can be weak too
Much is in me
to build me
again
would take another life time
and not just my lifetime
because you see,
i took a piece from you
so that in some way or another, i could emulate you.
I'm meant to be exactly how i am
when you are lost i will take you hand
interlock yours with mine
your mind with mine
i emanate love to survive
so fear cannot confine my life
if i cry, i cry
let out a sigh, then dry my eye
remodel the foundations
increases your frustration
you thoight you had this puzzle solved
you are mistaken, i've already evolve.
