The Statue In The Sun

You thought it would be enough to turn and leave without saying goodbye. But now they live inside your head, word after word after.

I only believed everything you ever told me.

Yesterday, I fought and stuttered.

Yesterday, I fumbled and stalled.

Yesterday, I held on until there was nothing left.

But today, I let go. Because today, I realized I can shine without you.

You once told me that sunshine never fails to make you happy while rainy days always get you down. I forgot to remind you then that sometimes the rain softens what the sun hardens.

@SeeHood i hope you like who you('ve) become.

@ardentLESS the edge of extinction crosses here and simple things die where stone touches stone but the light will last forever where we meet.

@ardentLESS unanswered prayers fall into shadows. stay a little longer. we can pretend they'll return to us brighter.

@vivajuliana There will always be a shadow behind me. I'm hoping you'll see my light.

@white_russian Close your eyes or look away, it does not matter to me. If I cannot be your light, then I will be your warmth.

@white_russian I made a sculpture of you after you left. I need you to come back to breathe life into it.

@white_russian I will bring you to hell and back if that is what it takes to melt the stone walls around your heart.

@angelaroseko Forget these stories about you and me. I don't need you. I just need me. But I lost myself in you.

@angelaroseko Once you decide to give me that second glance, I'll be gone.

@hayleyyyyyyyyyy They can only take what you give them. Don't give up so easily.

@Kristin1FEU1h9 ...and I will allow you to love what I never could

@Arne86 I'm leaving because of you. My heart can't take this.

@windowsxt There's nothing that can make you feel good without addiction. Even love has its own withdrawal effects.

@Arne86 Our mutual fear of rejection shouldn't hold us back any longer, let go, stop wasting time & start making memories.

@windowsxt: For the broken bones will mend and memories will fade. This pain will be long gone before you can even remember.

@windowsxt You don't have to constantly remind yourself of the need to feel happy, what you need to do is tell yourself not to be sad.

@windowsxt Hopefully, there'll be a day when I'm able to look at you and talk as though we've have barren the skeletons in our closet.

Wingless Viet said...

While I was awed by the sun on your face, I never noticed the hurt held in your hands.

I wish I could be free of you the way you were free of me.

there was color in my world when you came, i had faith in you. and then you took them all away.

I closed my eyes only to see black and white. You were the only one that made sense. I miss you.

keaira said...

i'll stay right here, on this spot. so that when you decide come back, you'll be able to find me, just right here, waiting.

Anonymous said...

Your crying is my shadow because,

Your laughing was my light,

I'm stuck between the both because,

I won't hold you tonight

I once read, "and if you really need him, fate won't let you lose him. Fate will bring him back. It may not be soon, but he will come back." So I waited. And I would wait forever, but not with this pain in my heart. I'm looking for the sun in a permanetly dark town, but maybe it'll show up once it gets bored of being lost. You were the one that saved me, and I'm wondering (read: hoping desperately) if you'll let me save you.

Credenza said...

You made me cry.

But that's okay. They were tears of joy, after all.

Anonymous said...

People only ever noticed when there was sadness in the world. They never realized that there was always a smile on your face. You dreamed of the day the world would change and you were willing to wait.

yasmine said...

yes, you're only one. one voice, one soul, one heart out of a million. but yes, the light could still shine on you.

don't give up.

L. said...

The sun decided to come out today. You're finally not alone.

Rifda said...

You could be the light or the shadow, I don't care. You could either see me in the face or hide behind my back, it doesn't matter.

Dear, it's always been you.

Seeing you every day, it paralyzes me. I just stare at you. I memorize you, afraid you'll vanish while I stay inert. I just sit there. I remember what it's like to be in love and, more than anything, I remember that my cold, stone heart can melt and feel.

Anonymous said...

You shone a light on my fears and showed me I had nothing to be afraid of. Then you left and put all the lights out.

As long as the sun rises, you'll have another chance. But the world will move on without you.

Cai Ling said...

Beneath this, is a smile cracked with grief. After so many years.

Anonymous said...

I was cold granite before. Unfeeling and lifeless. But then there was you, appearing like the first rays of sun. Thawing my heart, releasing my soul.

You are my sun.

But deep down, I know you will leave again. Because it's what a sun must do.

C Renée said...

Maybe all the statues will crumble after we're gone. Maybe the sun will lack luster and conviction. Maybe everything will become dark and everyone will be lost. But if you stay and keep the sun shining, I'll keep building statues for you.

Mary said...

and it's nearly always because of you.

X said...

your shadow lingers long after you were gone. i will never be free of you.

My favourite word is the word, “heart”. There are so many reasons as to why this word is my favourite but I will tell you none, except for one. I do not have to dissect my heart to see the blood coursing through my veins to know that I am alive. It is my favourite because the word “heart” is a euphony that is a monument to your existence.

And that keeps me alive.

let me be the one who shines with you.

And when you were done ripping me apart, I rebuilt myself with brick so that no one could get in.

Carmen said...

Yesterday I forgot you.

Today I remembered you.

In the next hour, I may love you or hate you.

You've built a cornerstone in my life, and you won't move. But I have to, even with all this dead weight.

I'll keep shining.

Treasure said...

Our love is like an ancient diety: pure, slightly frightening, unaccessible.

A lot like you.

They say we aren't a match. How a flame in our name wouldn't hold any merits. So we create one. Then use it to prove them all wrong. We will expose them to their core. All their dirty secrets, bad decisions and deep scars. We will teach them to never doubt. We will show them that it is written in stone. But most importantly, we will steal their smiles.

Facebook

Nicho Venter - Constantly aching for you, filled with desire with a heart that is exploding with emotion, will you ever find what you are looking for?, and will it be me???

Elyssa Ellie Marcelle - You made a foreign noun and a verb seem so natural to me. Through tender palpation of the chest, the heart beats so rhythmically, like a veteran pianist perfecting every note. Love itself is beautiful.

We met in trembling hope, with hearts overflowing with love. With initial perception of perfection of each other, it is... during this journey that the semblance of perfection is broken, knowingly filled with imperfections and mandatorily seeking to accept these imperfections. It takes efforts of the world combined to establish a tender union, but just a trifling misunderstanding to rend asunder those ties, that should not be the way.

If you could give us a chance to show, to reignite this love again.

Because, I am very much in love with you.

Chong Hwee Jane - The Daytime Darkness. Sealing away your sadness in stone won't help you see the light, even when it's blinding you. But until you learn to radiate your own warmth, I'll lend you mine, so at least you'll still be able to smile on the surface.

Marissa Cheney - I smile thinking of you, but that is only if the sun is shining. The rest of the time I am lost in the crowd in the shadows. Thinking of you with an aching heart.

Dorothe Smit - It's not the sunshine that makes you feel better. It's the thought that like winter, everything else will pass too.

Pascale Tellier The Looking Closer. When you look back at how things were, you remember the final moments in which I made you a fool for loving me.

But you don't remember the beginning, in which I became someone worthy of your love.

That's in the past too.

Hanny 'Kiko' Larasati Imania - The sun used to warm your heart, and your warm heart used to warm mine. But you're as cold as a marble statue now, and no matter how hot the sun be, it won't warm your heart again. And so your heart gone cold... and it cold mine too

Alexandrea Roman - You once told me that sunshine never fails to make you happy while rainy days always get you down. I forgot to remind you then that sometimes the rain softens what the sun hardens.

Alexandrea Roman - Close your eyes or look away, it does not matter to me. If I cannot be your light, then I will be your warmth.

Alexandrea Roman - I made a sculpture of you after you left. I need you to come back to breathe life into it.

Alexandrea Roman - I will bring you to hell and back if that is what it takes to melt the stone walls around your heart.
