My own world

0 posted 2006-09-18 12:27 PM

Tear me down, make me fall,
Ignore my pains, ignore my calls.

The blackness is closing, my eyelids are shut,
The darkness took over when life gave too much.

I gave it all up, my trust and my devotion,
But tried to hide behind a face that showed no emotion.

No those were not tears, only black streams of distress,
No my lips did not tremble when you left me heartless.

No my heart did not break for you when you left me on my own,
It only deepened the cracks already there, a more divided heart now shone.

You played with my head, tore at my heart,
Took my confidence and ripped it apart.

Your stupid little smile and your bright blue eyes,
Were the bottomless ocean that fell to my demise.

Manipulation was the lock, my heart was the key,
What a conniving locksmith you turned out to be.

I ignored all the signals, believed all the lies,
Liked to believe your words instead of my own mind’s cries.

It’s my own fault for falling for the "charming" guy,
I gave you more reason to continue with my one too many tries.

Carry on with your life, you’re so good at causing hurt and pain,
It’s so easy to carry on when my loss is your gain.

Tell me what you think about being open, about being honest with yourself.

This part of the poem was really and truly amazing. If I was not such a manly, 'tough' guy I might have cried. Maybe... just a little. If, you know, I wasn't the big man on campus.

I agree with everything Krazy 4 Her said, well pretty much everything lol. I thought this was another very well writen poem by you, and I can relate to it (although it was not a guy who broke my heart). But I hope to see more of your poems. Great write!

Those were my two favorite stanzas. I just loved the metaphors in them, especially when you mentioned about thier blue eyes being "bottomless oceans".

Overall, I really enjoyed this one!
