i’m a player
June 27, 2012 § 47 Comments
i’m a play play player. a game game gamer. a heart break break breaker, and this is ticking on too long.
i’m waking waking waking, realizing it’s aching aching aching, and not very much fun.
it’s not that i want to play, it’s just that i don’t know how to stay….for very long. so i play play play until the sun comes comes comes, and my eyes are tired and my heart is wired and nothing about this is real at all.
i want to hold you hold you hold you, instead i hurt you hurt you hurt you–and now you’re gone gone gone, and my hearts numb numb numb. the tears are rolling down, but they freeze before they fall, because my eyes do not see your arms to keep me warm warm warm.
i didn’t plan this i didn’t want this, this is traitor-ish behavior. but you have left me and i am empty and i want you to come home home home. i’m leaving my window open, hoping that you will unintentionally slip in while you are drinking and not thinking— and let me keep you let me keep you all night long long long. and when you wake wake wake i’ll let you go go go. and i will ache ache ache all alone.
and i just love love love you, that’s why i hate hate hate you, and i can’t tame tame tame you, so i let you go go go.
i’m a play play player a game game gamer a heart break break breaker —breaking alone.
And now i dance dance dance reach past the past past past–futuristically. and i will spin spin spin and win win win– without you.
and now i heal heal heal, and grow grow grow and i will play play play no more.
and if you find find find me, you’ll see me smile smile smiling –because my heart beat beat beat beats full full fully– and i am happy.
Love this you sure have a way with words. Thank you for visiting my site as well.

Sit in awareness with feelings.
Watch where they dance and land.
Go deeper in experience.
Do not emerge prematurely,
trying to force yourself to be happy,
until you have cleaned out all the hurt.
Till there is nothing left but a shell made of lies, on the ground, that you simply step out of …
once you have forgiven yourself…
only then will you truly move on.
never to repeat this pattern again.
Blessings and peace to you brave woman. much love. Beth

Love it… So many women in my life have gone through that very journey (some of them raking me through the coals with them… admittedly) and I like that your piece has the whole journey… beginning to end.
I do have a desire to set “Creep” by Radiohead on repeat…
Thanks for the follow.

For one I thought that this was a song. Another thing is that maybe I thought that this was a song because your vibe (in your photo on the side) is pretty much the same as Colbey Caillat or Sarah Bareilles. Anyway, this is the first post I’ve read in your blog. It’s awesome because until now I’m still humming some notes in my mind relating to the post.

i say, take your poetics and go viral, but beyond the corrall of everyday life, beyond the rat race game of playaz, go for the evolution of diverse modes of care coming together beyond cash, intervening on Alienation Incorporated and Same Old Again!

Coco,
I always enjoy – need I say “love”? – what you have to say. You are a true “minimalist”. What you have to say is always “straight up” and to the point. Always “most beautiful”
Thanks for another wonderful thought.

This keeps coming round in my head. Can’t quite put my finger on it but you really nailed the rhythm and emotion here. Great art often toes the line, and I feel you’ve done that here with the repetition – just the right amount without going too far before slowing it down with a line like “nothing about this is real at all.” AND, I think the repetition here works, too, because it accurately reflects what the mind does when we’re in a state like this – constantly going over and over our memories even when they hurt. Well done!
