why, when i finally let myself go to those look for love places
and i answered your please let me in knocks on my door
and i passed into the land of i’ll take my chances
did it scream to you ‘hurt me some more’


i don’t want to be just another pass under you
i do nothing that my heart’s not aware of
i hate it when my soul gets scraped up
because those wicked wounds heal way too slowly


why, when i finally let you take peeks inside of me
and allowed you to finger heartstrings and linger
deciding which one was the most needed for me to be
did you stand ready to pluck it, break me


i'm a good girl; i thought you had seen me
i deserve nothing less than everything
i will not settle for half of something
because i've got way too much to give somebody


why, knowing the mystery novel lifestyle you write for yourself
would you go after hours thumbing through my library
corner folding pages and disturbing the required silence
and then say you only want to browse not borrow

You rock girl!!!!!!

Girlpower!!!!

How many women feel this way, have been
treated this way, you are their voice,
this carries all the emotions we have felt
but could never express so eloquently ....

I am sorry for your pain and I reply to this humbly.  You seem like a sweet, warm and very loving person.  Some men are just jerks, then there are some that will wake up one day and realize what they had.  I am sure, in reading your work for only these last few days that one day he will be one of the latter.  By that time you will have moved on and will be able to smile and realize you are okay.  Wait for the last, yet to be mentioned, category of man who can be your partner, your equal and your friend.  Even though I haven't got one, I've seen that they exist.  I'm pontificating...sorry, personality issues.

I love the awareness of your value and self-confidence you show here, dear Shellie. You are so right.

You have expressed your disappointment powerfully here, but don't let this affect your serenity. Don't let anybody scratch your soul as you say it. Love yourself, the healing process will accelerate.

Lovely Poetess, move ahead with determination. There are some trustworthy souls out there who are ready to attune their hearts to yours ... may you meet the best.

Love and hugs.
Margherita

I know just how you feel. Those wounds do heal very slow. Too slow for me. Hope your wounds heals a lot quicker.

~sweet rose...

i'm sorry your soul got scraped  

the truth is, you have to take the chance of getting beat up when you open yourself up for love...

don't ever lose hope, rose


love,
