I need you to understand something. I wrote this for you. I wrote this for you and only you. Everyone else who reads it, doesn’t get it. They may think they get it, but they don’t. This is the sign you’ve been looking for.
You were meant to read these words.

The Questions Buildings Ask
Why did you build me, if all you wanted to do, was knock me down.
Why did you raise me, if all you wanted to do, was bring me low.
Why did you make me, if all you wanted to do, was break me.
Why did you break me if all you wanted to do was make me? Why did you lower your standards and leave when all I ever wanted to do was raise you? Why did you knock us down when all I did was build us? Just us, only you and I. Look up and fill the hole in your heart. Miss me.
No reason, just fear of getting close to that glass box, fear of pushing that doorbell, fear of seeing you, fear of speaking you, fear of your question.... Who am i? I still don't know the correct answer... How do I get the courage to face you again? How can I be sure if you won't be on business trip? How can I be sure if he is there to take care of the kids?...
I know you want us to be great. I am living in my fears, I want a normal life. Me
"Who are you?" The only correct answer is for you to show me your face, look me in the eyes.
Don't worry about courage; my love will not fail you. It does what you need, not what I want. I suppose, I wonder, I wing it. We swear we don't believe in fate. But, it has its own ideas.
You are there; I am not. But, I'm here when you need me. We can skip the words until they're ready to spill on their own. Until then, just touch me.
It's so tricky to fall into the arms of the one in a perpetual game of hide-n-seek. Much less build anew. Help me to find you. (I'll keep looking for you, meanwhile.) ;-) <3
I didn't mean to.. I did it out of fear. I can't afford to lose you again.. I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteto build a newer one of your old bones that can stand tall when the earth again rumbles and quakes
ReplyDeleteI knocked you down out of fear.
ReplyDeleteI brought you so low out of jealousy.
And broke you out of anger.
And you know what? I don't regret a thing.
Why did you break me if all you wanted to do was make me? Why did you lower your standards and leave when all I ever wanted to do was raise you? Why did you knock us down when all I did was build us? Just us, only you and I. Look up and fill the hole in your heart. Miss me.
ReplyDeleteI know you lost your mind but do you have a heart? Me.
ReplyDeletecause i wanna fly and you were scared of my heights
ReplyDeleteMissing you as I would oxygen were it running out on me. <3
ReplyDeleteI'm from New Jersey, USA. My daddy is in Singapore right now on a business trip. Please take care of him for me <3
ReplyDeleteMy heart has a flower on it, no one waters.
ReplyDeleteSo she must leave.
ugh ... >.<

One of my biggest fears put into words.
ReplyDeleteYou just cant answer me...
ReplyDeleteCoz you never prepare one..
All you do just a part of game..
You thought i would never ask because i just another stone..
But i have a heart baby..
And im sorry im cant be part of it anymore..
Bring me down, and someday you will have no more stone to build a building..
I did not knock you down..
ReplyDeleteyou were just too weak to stand on your own...
I did now put you low,
I just soar high when you left me alone...
I did not break you..
don't blame it all to me...
I guess I should be asking you the same questions...
ReplyDeleteWhy did you come here, when all you wanted to do was to leave?
ReplyDeleteWho can judge what is right or wrong,
ReplyDeletewhen none of us know for sure,
the depth of thought and feeling
behind another's action.
Perhaps, the foundations needed repair?
Perhaps, our technology has exceeded our humanity?
Perhaps, now we get to see the magnificent view.
Perhaps, only you have the answer?
You have 100% permission to leave.
ReplyDeletePlease.
The best buildings are made underground. For sure you can't break them.
ReplyDeleteI will always find a way out. Because that is what I do.
ReplyDeleteUniverse is infinite, so I am.
Even the strongest ones fall
ReplyDeleteWhat are we? Secret lovers?
ReplyDelete"Who are you?"
ReplyDeleteThe only correct answer is for you to show me your face, look me in the eyes.
Don't worry about courage; my love will not fail you.
It does what you need, not what I want. I suppose, I wonder, I wing it.

We are not
ReplyDeletePerhaps your own fear of being broken has caused you to break me down...
ReplyDeleteBroken
Unfortunately I do have a heart, I really wish I didn't.
ReplyDeletei've too much questions. too much doubt. what are we?
ReplyDeletebut you left, and the words choked out of my mouth.
i will never know.
Could've fooled me. Oh wait.
ReplyDeleteI'll make her my lamb.
ReplyDeleteLittle Bo Peep is here. Me.
ReplyDeleteIt's so tricky to fall into the arms of the one in a perpetual game of hide-n-seek. Much less build anew. Help me to find you. (I'll keep looking for you, meanwhile.) ;-) <3
ReplyDeleteYou tried all this and I turned to stone.
ReplyDeleteI want my parents to answer to this post.
ReplyDeleteJust to make a better you.
ReplyDeleteI do have a heart, but can I trust you?
ReplyDeleteall left unanswered...
ReplyDeletetime to put an end and move on
:D

I built you, because I was built by you.
ReplyDeleteI raised you, because I was raised with your affection.
I didn't make you, and especially didn't break you. You did that to your self.
I love you.
If you don't like something, change it. Tell me. You're not a building.
because in the beginning,
ReplyDeleteyou were what i needed.
and what i thought i wanted.
and then you weren't.
"And then you weren't." You thought I wasn't.
ReplyDeleteI want to be back to your first three lines.
ReplyDelete
