When you weren't looking
I stole a piece of your heart
And hammered it out nice and thin
And wound it around my finger.

I thought I had opened your eyes
They were so bold and beautiful
Honest and care-free, just like
I always pictured myself as;

But time has a way of eroding
The shifting sands with its
Battlefield of water, be it
A flood of tears or rain.

Those eyes I loved staring into
Weren't opened but shut, nice
And tight, you knew it but
You let me take that piece of heart.

I wish I could say I hate you
Maybe that would justify what I
feel, but I can't it isn't true
And I am not one to tell lies

Like You..

So maybe it is you, who
is really the thief, the
backstabbing, lying, pathetic
thief, when I was just wanting;

Now what I want you refuse to give
and you keep stealing, and you keep
pretending and you keep your eyes shut. And me?

I am left here, half way between
Reality and Hell, tossed upon waves
of emotions you've never acknowledged
And I am drowning in the pit

Of You...

*I apologize if this crosses the line of what is exceptable here at Passions. On an emotional overload and needed to voice it.  If it offends, I will take out the offending parts or delete it in its entirety.*

Hey Poe...

hm

this doesn't cross any guidelines at all.   If you want to check up on them - to see what is considered appropriate or not, here is the link:
/pip/guidelines.htm\

In short though - the types of poetry that are discouraged are ones that glorify suicide, self-violence or violence against others. Or ones that offer these as a solution to emotional problems. Also - graphic violence is often better suited to the adult forum...though it's up to the moderators there to decide if it's appropriate.

Also - swearing just isn't a good thing to do, considering the amount of young kids who read here. And slandering other members lol...never a good thing...

but deep emotional expression, about hurt and suffering?

We're here to listen...and poetry is the perfect vehicle - if there is anything perfect in hurting.

Hugs - hope you feel safer sharing this here now.

Thanks Severn. I was concerned because of the usuage of "damn", I consider it a mild profanity, but knowing that there are younger readers here, I think I will take that out.
Thanks again,
