In A Nutshell
In A Nutshell
By Nancy Rodriquez
Letting go of us has been the loneliest journey ever,
It is a long winding road to travel,
My heart wishes to repair the damage to us,
and stop the insanity,
It is not beneath me to gravel,
The stench from trying has me dying inside,
your love gave me everything in which to be happy,
and within my weariness, I want to curl up and hide,
I feel as if you told many lies,
and I did not know you after all,
Was I holding you back all the while?
I thought I was enough before our fall,
Was I cramping your style?
My head hurts from reasoning too much,
and I have cried too many tears to count,
losing you is as if losing my sense of touch,
a blow to my heart I have found,
In a nutshell, it is what it is, a painful time of life.
