This is acctually a song I wrote.. so thats why it dosn't sound a whole lot like a poem and why some parts reapeat them selves.  It sounds a lot better set to music... but I had some inspiration to poast it as it   So here ya go and I hope you like it..


God Knows

God knows how I try
To make our love work
And God knows how I cried
When I saw it falling apart
Please tell me why it is
That I must stay
Please tell me what it is
You always seem to say
Cuz' God knows how I try
And God know how I cried
And God knows how
I love you so
And when I look at you
I look at angels eyes
But through the eyes
Of every one else
All they do is see me cry
They tell me he's not worth my love
Cuz' he just doesn't care
And then maybe I believe them
For a second or two
And then I hear his voice
And all that doubt I had in him
Melts right down to my shoes
So tell me why it is
I always stay
No matter what all they say to me
I just can't walk away
Just can't walk away
And when I get mad
I have all these things
I plan on saying to you
And when I hear your voice you see
Those words leave me with the breeze
They leave me like a breeze
I stand there forgotten
All I wanted to say
And instead I say I love you
And I'll tell you that
I'll always stay
Yeah, baby, I'll always stay
They call me stubborn
They call me dumb
But that's okay
I look in your eyes
And I hear your lies
So why can't I walk away
No matter how much you hurt me
No matter how I cry
God knows how I try
And maybe one day
Maybe I'll know
Why I just can't walk away
Why I just can't walk away
Cuz' God knows
Why I just can't walk away........

Hello LiLOnE,
This is a very nice read. Any lines that may be repeated are just perfect, and they belong there. Glad I came by for a visit.

I'm going through something like that right now...your poem really helped me.  I guess in a way it's nice to know that I'm not the only one whose so blindly in love. thank you.

Oh gee...I hate to admit that I was there once...in my teen years...about ten years ago...its a tough place to be and it doesn't seem like there is much chance...but there is.    
  Your song (poem) is very good, LiL, you really express your frustrationa t being so trusting well.

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.

"All the doubt I had in him melts right down to my shoes" Unfortunately, I know this feeling. You've written this very well. I bet it's awesome to music. Good job!
(And by the way... I like the name...  )

I run, I fall. I walk, I sometimes crawl. I give, I take. I bend and yet somehow I break
