My own world

0 posted 2007-08-01 12:38 PM



Pretty girl, I know the world has hurt you,
And I know he took your heart,
I saw the pain as it rushed down your cheek
The night he tore your world apart.

He was the first to win your heart,
You timidly gave it up,
Only for it to be cracked and broken
Because to him you weren’t enough.

I see the hunger in your eyes
To feel the touch of a loving boys hand,
The longing to find the right one;
To find a guy who understands.

Pretty girl, I know he scarred you
And I know the pain is hard to hide,
I see the way you try to cover up
But your bright blue eyes don’t lie.

Pretty girl, I promise you one day he’ll look back
And realize there was no one like you,
You’ll be the girl he could never replace,
And you’ll be with someone who already knew.

-Erin

So I'm really rusty...I haven't written in a long time..and suddenly inspiration hit me. Unfortunately. Anyways...just had my heart broken, and I wrote this kind of as a note to myself that it'll be his loss in the end. Hope you enjoy

This is amazing The flow was just so perfect, and the rhyming wasn't forced at all...i loved it

So no more hiding all your pain, you deserve a new start. That's why i'm closing myself away, this is a message from your heart.

If it helps your heart at all your right, he will in the long room pay because you will have moved on and a good while later the guy (cause guys aren't all that smart.. most of them) will realize  what he lost.. It just may take him awhile. See it also kinda proves he's stupid already to make that mistake in the first place, or at least thats what I think of those type of guys who break hearts and it takes them forever to figure it out.

this poem was amazing though, title , the whole deal. My favorite from you that I can think of off the top of my head, it all clicks. Its beautifully written and the emotion is soo strong. A powerful piece

I loved it. Mostly because you were telling yourself that it'll be ok that in the end you'll have won out. I had just had my heart broken too. Twice actually. One right after the other and i'm not the type of person to just fall in love randomly. The first guy last a year and the second just walked out of my life. Their the only one's i have ever loved and they'll stay the only ones. Great job -Tara
