Releasing
Who were You? and Where did You go?
What was Your true purpose?
Will I ever know?
You came, You rerevolutionized my world
You came, You cracked open my shell and You released the pearl.
And even though your Time was Short,
Your Power was very Strong,
The effects You left can still be felt
And You've been gone so Long.
Of late though,
Its like Your Presence seems so imminent...
To the point that when I breathe
I almost catch Your scent.
You're starring in my dreams again,
Your face, Your smile, Your eyes
I need something to ease my brain,
Before it tells my heart old lies.
O Yes! I've accepted Your absence,
I even started rebuilding my fence,
But the memory of You
Still seems at times,
To override my sense.
I no longer expect a call or text
From you anymore,
But to completely let go
Of my dreams of You,
Is still a constant war.
Why won't You just come out of my Brain,
I always ask myself in vain.
But at least the tears don't pour
Anymore
Like when they outlasted the rain.
No One has ever touched me to the core,
And No One will ever again,
Because there wasn't a part of me
You didn't explore,
Every single part felt pain.

Life After You
I am finally ready to write again. O! how I missed writing.
So,
Where do I start after all this time?
How do I reopen my mind, to You,
How do I show you everything I've been through?
How to explain, my experience with pain, and heartache,
Well lemme tell you, it wasn't no cake, with the cherry on top,
You know the ones that make your eyes pop,
When you see them in the glass case at the shop,
Nope, it wasn't one of those at all,
But more the thing that makes you bawl,
From deep, deep inside you soul,
That thing makes you feel cold, on a hot day,
It makes you lie and say you're ok, when you're not,
But you feel like an idiot, cuz u can't explain the pain,
The emptiness, the loneliness, the gloom, the tears,
What's worse, you feel like nobody cares,
About these newly developed fears,
That have come to live in your head,
They seem to strap you down to your bed,
And to the constant memory of Time past,
A time that not tears, dreams, wishes or even death
Can bring back...

Grahame (because I had to)
I remember the feelings I felt while I waited for you, I remember the very first time I saw You.
I remember the very first time I looked into your beautiful eyes,
And it was at that moment I knew You were very special,
It was at that very moment I loved You, and I haven't stopped since then.
When I saw you approaching me at the mall that day, I was scared, I was tempted to run, not only because I suddenly wondered what the hell am I doing,,,but, mostly because you were so not my type, in fact, you were completely opposite, but for some reason, as you took the last few steps toward me, I caught your eyes, and its your eyes Gray, they compelled me to stay! I had never looked into eyes like yours...I saw strength, secrets, hurts, pain, but glorious passion. You have the most beautiful and mesmerising eyes I have ever gazed into and above everything, I miss looking into your eyes the most. When You looked at me I felt naked, I felt revealed, I felt open, uncovered and exposed, I felt like You gazed at my soul, You saw through my facade, You were real. and You saw the real Chenelle, and Nobody, not a single soul has ever and probably will ever see what your eyes saw.
With you from day one I felt comfortable, and relaxed, but, I was also very in awe of you, I was completely enthralled by everything about you, and what made matters worse...I was recovering from a bout of emotional trauma, and the window dressing my very vulnerable self usually hid behind, was useless against you, So most times I was always like a fish out of water around You. It was You who saw Chenelle and coaxed Chenelle to come out, It was You who made Chenelle feel safe to step forward, made Chenelle feel safe to Shine. Chenelle came out for You!
When You left, whether she pushed you away or not, Your absence left her suddenly exposed, suddenly insecure, suddenly scared, and needing of the safety and security your presence brought. Chenelle was in a tailspin, and had been for a complete year. For a complete year she was utterly depressed, she lived in denial, and regret, self pity, self hate...The facade she had long buried, was now fighting to re-emerge, This semblance hated this vulnerable Chenelle or atleast everything it has to do to hide, numb, and paralyze Chenelle and her feelings, just to protect her, because Chenelle just couldn't get over you, Chenelle was just too heartbroken to live without You Gray, I tried so hard to get up but sometimes even breathing was a challenge. So after a complete year Chenelle decided to take comfort once again behind that Front which was stronger, almost heartless, almost merciless, almost the complete opposite to who Chenelle really is.
Only problem now, is that Chenelle missed being the front runner more than she missed you, Now, anything else but Chenelle doesn't even feel good, Chenelle could no longer be contented to take the backseat, She had grown to love herself, she wanted to be Chenelle all the time,,, she wanted people to know Chenelle, its like Chenelle had grown so much in her time outside that she just could not fit back there anymore, even if she wanted, it just was impossible, she longed for another taste, so as much as she was scared to be outside without you Gray, it suddenly became Necessary, as much as she felt to die, I had to live, as much as she cried I had to smile. So Chenelle re-emerged and this time I burnt that bridge that lead back to anything that didn't represent Who I truly am.
So now I, Chenelle, has re-emerged with out You as my safety net, I am forced to be strong on my own, I am forced to shine on my own, I am forced to protect myself because there is none to do so for me... and that's a good thing, No, a great thing, I have found a strength I never knew I possessed, I have found a new love and respect for myself, I have a new hope in myself, my purpose and what I have the ability to accomplish, I look forward to showing the world Me and what I can bring to the table. And yes I still miss You Gray every single minute of every single day, I still long for you, your touch, your smell, your lips ( I mean your smile ;), and I still love you, probably even more than I ever did love You before, because I really wouldn't want to be where ever I would be without your imprint in my life, So as painful as it was to actually accept you're gone especially under the particular circumstance, I can never regret meeting You, I can never, ever regret loving you, I only regret hurting you and it haunts me and hurts me now that I can't even get a chance to make it up to you, to make it right, It hurts that I can't look into your eyes anymore, I can't see you smile anymore, see you do your stupid little dance with your back anymore, smell your head, pick your pimples, hear you bitch, watch you cook in your undies...Damn!!! I Miss you Alot, BUT now my future looks like it could be as incredible as you were...and that eases the grief, and gives me something to look forward to, something to work toward, something to redirect my time, energy and passion into.
Long and Short...You are by far the best person I have known, You have done more for me in your absence than anyone's presence could ever do...and I Love You Forever for this...So from the depths of my soul I Thank you and I Bless You...mwah!!!

The One...(who stopped loving me)
I think about you every minute of every day,
Your memory consumes me,
And eats away at my sanity.
I question your very memory, your exsistance,
I wonder if you were merely an illusive dream,
A wild, vivid imagination, A fairytale.
Your ability to forget me and move on
Baffles my brain,
I thought you loved me...more than this,
I thought you understood me and my pain
I just can not believe You could be
So unforgiving, so harsh, so mean to me
After the things I have done for you
After I had forgiven you and accepted you.
When no one else did.
But it would be unfair, for you to bear
Such a burden....as my love.
But I cared for you, I loved you,
Genuinely.
I opened up my life, my mind and my heart
To You
In a way I had never yet done,
But Only because I thought you were the One.

Lost Love (part 1)
You came, you found me, You touched me, you loved me.
You became the epitome,
Of everything I believed love could ever be.
With your patient love and tender devotion, You opened my heart to a new emotion.
You showed me a future, a different life, one where I envisioned myself as your wife.
You groomed me until I was well refined, and to show my gratitude,
I welcomed you into my heart, my soul and my mind.
But I got contented and took your love for granted,
I had issues and needed to vent it,
It's a pity that you were the outlet I choose,
It's like getting pricked from a torn growing on your very own rose.
For this I am truly sorry, but you know what they say,,,
"Sorry doh pass curry"
Probably the pain was really too much, when I tarnished the vision you had for us.
But I truly never believed you would really bite the dust.
I always believed you loved me more than this, hmmm,
Can't believe these bitter enemies once shared pure bliss.
Can't believe that pure bliss is now distant memories,
Can't believe these memories will one day, fade away.
All The While...
All the while I couldn't let you go, I couldn't accept that we weren't together anymore, I just couldn't understand that you didn't want to be with me.
All the while I felt it was because I loved you too much to let you go, I felt I loved you too much to accept we weren't together any more.
All the while I truly believed I was holding on to Love.
Now I have realised that holding on to you, dragging us both through the heart wrenching drama every single time, forcing us to the most extreme tests of love, could never be Love.
I realised that again I was being selfish, I was only thinking of me and how I felt.
If I loved you, I would be able to let you go, because your happiness would be my ultimate desire.
If I loved you I would be able to accept that your happiness no longer lies with in me,
And I would distance myself, and quietly bear the pain of my broken heart.
If I loved you, I would want you to be truly happy, even if it meant moving on.
Well, I do love you, with my entire being, with my body, my mind, my heart and my soul.
So I will this time be Selfless, this time I will put your happiness over mine,
And trust in the power of time.
I love you enough to quietly distance myself, and watch you go...
If you ever read this, You know who you are.
I am sorry about everything, but,
All The While...I truly believed I was holding on to love.
