Gladys,

I suppose I brought this on
from mistakes in the past

I gave myself to you
knowing we would last

I made you the center
of my life

tried to show you
and prove to you
how much I love you

It seems you are
incapable of showing me

No romance
No time to dance
The laughter is gone

I try to be strong
as I long for what
it seems I can not
have

I thought I was a good lover
only to discover
I'm not
Not even close

No beauty within me
No beauty outside
only darkness and rot
that I must try to hide

I can't make the pain stop
My heart bleeds profusely
My soul is withering like
the autumn leaves
just waiting for winter
and the death of me..

wow, that was SUCH a poewerful poem. you're really good at expressing your feelings through poetry, in my opinion. but you know what, you are a beautiful person, everyone is beautiful in their own way, just remember that   and this poem shows that you have a beautiful soul too..

I feel the same way right now.  But... whatever will be will be and time heals all wounds.  Cliche's suck, I know, but some are true.  And that was a wonderful poem, because even those who may not have experienced what you have experienced will feel what you're conveying in the poem.

being strong on the inside is always harder than on the outside.  just keep smiling and writing.

EVEN ANGELS FALL.

I am so sorry you had to endure this.  You did a wonderful job in portraying the hurt and pain.  It is just so sad they we ever have to write about things like this, but I believe they can make us stronger.  I hope you come back with a renewed spirit.  Hugs to ya!  Great poem!
