NAMED BY TEMPEST (Thanx )


STOP, please help me, I’m losing control.
I’ve fallen off the edge of serenity and now I lay lifeless in a hole.
My blood is full of hatred, and I’m afraid I’ll hurt someone if I’m not cured
I want to share the hurt I feel, and to you I am lured.

I’ll spin you into my web of lies,
I’ll break your heart to my command you will abide
You wait til I have you firmly under my thumb
I’ll leave your body cold and numb.

I’ll hold you closely whilst you drink poison from my cup.
Scream and shout if you must, but please learn that it’s better to give up.
Let me torture you the same way these voices torture me
Maybe then next time when I ask for help you won’t flee.

Somebody save me from the person I have become
Teach me how to be a nice little girl who goes shopping with her mum
Let me be taught respect and manners to the highest form of degree
Then watch me focus on my schooling and appreciate the true me

So as you go to sleep tonight say a little prayer for me, the girl that isn’t sleeping
For she is lying in her bed shaking whilst she is weeping
Pray that somebody will save her and that she will learn to live
Then maybe one day you will learn to appreciate exactly what she must live with

OK so i really like naming poems that have out there meanings that you have to look for to understand, but since you say "so as you go to sleep tonight say a little prayer for me, the girl that isnt sleeping" i think a cool title would be "speaking prayers,sleeping eyes"  but you dont have to take my advice, i just think it would sound cool

anyways, the poem itself was interesting to me because you really feel the anger, frustration, and contemptment in your words. very sweet! i really have to hand it to you, i dub thee "wordspinner"...yo.
