Analysis of Little letter



I have been away from you and you have been away from me
I stretched my cold beautiful heart to you like an elastic rubber
I reached out to you from voice to voice, step to step but you stayed still and watched me wonder around like a clown
I whispered your name but you shut the doors of your ears from my weak voice

I shivered in pain of been neglected and rejected
I tried covering the wind of mockery but my armored doors and windows got broken and brought down like the walls of Jericho

I lifted my voice like a righteous soul ascending to meet their maker
I buckled my tears and stayed strong
I waved it all like I was ok but am not

I am of a smiling face and a sad one
I am of shattered glass ready to be picked and arranged by your unconditional love
You taking it far from my reach
It's alright to cry and it's ok to be sad and be unwanted

Try to understand beloved, my cold heart is not a weed but a growing plant that has remain stagnant because of thy rejection and stoned smile

Do what pleases you
Do what makes you happy
What pleases me Is loving you and what makes me enthusiastic is your warm smiles from before

Let me drive with you to your home of pain
Let me swim with you in your pool of sorrow
Let me walk every step with you to the burning fire of regret from your ex lovers

When you get this I might be long gone to a journey of searching on how to make you happy
Just wait a little while cause am almost there....
