Failed
May 21, 2009
You set out a task
I take a path
Strained, slowly doing it
I cross the finish line
You strike me
You push me away
Harsh words exchanged
It wasn't done right
Stung and numb
Drop of the mood, my triumph
Your words echoing, bouncing around my head
Tasks done, not done right, repeatedly
Pick myself up
Sigh of exhaustion
Returning to tasks
Returning to life
Comfort in friends
A rising question
Focus and intent on my answer
Wrong answer
Again, pushing me away
Driving nails into my skull
The pressure of being perfect
Soul exhaustion, the draining
I broke you with one simple line
Your splatters, my stains
Cold envelope the sense of loss
The hard spoken gestures, the glares
My thoughts, my feelings
My actions, my knowledge
Wiped out, non-existent, gone
My failures to you
You set out a task
I take a path
Strained, slowly doing it
I cross the finish line
You strike me
You push me away
Harsh words exchanged
It wasn't done right
Stung and numb
Drop of the mood, my triumph
Your words echoing, bouncing around my head
Tasks done, not done right, repeatedly
Pick myself up
Sigh of exhaustion
Returning to tasks
Returning to life
Comfort in friends
A rising question
Focus and intent on my answer
Wrong answer
Again, pushing me away
Driving nails into my skull
The pressure of being perfect
Soul exhaustion, the draining
I broke you with one simple line
Your splatters, my stains
Cold envelope the sense of loss
The hard spoken gestures, the glares
My thoughts, my feelings
My actions, my knowledge
Wiped out, non-existent, gone
My failures to you
