Earth 3rd Rock from the sun!!

mirror mirror hanging on my wall
please don't speak any words at all
trying not to look you in the eye
for fear i might break down and start to cry
loving was not easy for us after all
shattered glass now laying at my feet
a broken soul lost in those shards
i kneel now and begin to weep
why did he always hold the cards???
he gave me all, still i wanted more..
the grass greener on the other side of town
now i've cursed my....wedding gown
pick up the pieces of my broken dreams
my life is over and broken at the seams
why could i not resist the aching deep inside?
why did he know every time I lied?
passion ruled my world and then it left..
tell me will i ever pass this test?

Oh Julie, this poem is so sad! I'm sorry that things didn't work out, but you'll come through it, I'm sure.

julie,
good poem. very "open-me-up" and soulful. it speaks from the heart. the guilt trip is a hard one, but you'll push through. people always do. we've all got our demons, right?

We all got somethin' we need to atone for.

wow this is a very cool poem...
very well expressed emotions
and the imagery of the shattered mirror made the poem
deep soul searching...
good luck to ya in finding the answers...
seem us poets are always searching
take care,
jm


It's amazing
How you make your face just like a wall
How you take your heart and turn it off
How I turn my head and you lose it all ...
And it's unnerving
(How one move just puts me by myself)
There you go just trusting someone else
(Now I know I put us both through hell) ...
I'm not sayin
That there was nothing wrong
(I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me)
And I'm not sayin
(We ever had the right to hold on)
(I just didn't wanna let you get away from me)

It's 3AM ... I must be lonely,
When she says baby,
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes,
Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it.

This is an easy read, and belongs in the
book --- so full of emotional pain

Yes, you will learn Julie -- trust me

The grass is never greener on the otherside
and these guilt things do subside -

If this is a pattern then one must look
to their comfort zones and find out why
one goes about ruining a perfectly good relationship.  There is a book called
"Woman who love too much" by Robin
Norwood -- I am sure you can find it --
