My own world

0 posted 2006-09-23 01:19 PM



After all the things you’ve done to me,
After all the lies I was too blind to see,
This is one place I just shouldn’t be,
I shouldn’t want you like this.

After all the pain you put me through,
I promised myself I wouldn’t want you,
So, tell me now, what is there to do
When you break your own promises.

Every song shouldn’t remind me of one guy,
Especially after the countless lies,
And the o so painful redundant goodbyes,
But they do.

And so instead of listening I try to forget,
All the times my mind regrets,
When all I wanted to see was your silhouette
But it always comes back to you.

I love you, that's so plain to see,
your my favorite part of my memory,
I just wish I could always be,
the girl who lights up your face.

Yeah I wish I could be your only light,
and I shouldn't want this, but it feels so right.
You've given my heart a civil fight,
and from my heart you just can't be erased.

-Erin

I have to say even though this was shorter than your norm, this was one of my favorite poems by you. Like I always say, you definitally have talent. This poem had great flow, it came together perfect! Great write! Keep writing.

This is very sad/beautiful! I loved this one and I have to agree that this is one of my all time favorites out the poems, of yours, that I have read.

I can't believe I almost missed reading this one... Thanks to hunnie I was able to enjoy your wonderful penning.

Thanks for sharing!

It was a very good idea to have the three lines rhyme and throw it off with the last

My lines are a bit short and im trying to get them a bit longer and make them much like yours

they dont turn out as well though lol :]

You should read The Prose of Saris in the open poetry forum; there are some similarities in our written predicaments.
