My own world

You headline disappointment,
but I listen anyways,
attracted to the light in your eyes,
I willingly give my heart away.

"don't get attatched" I tell myself,
cause you leave every single time,
forcing me to come back to my pen and paper,
and talk in heartbreaking rhymes.

I hate the way you give me names
that are cute in our own little way,
I hate the way you play such games,
yet I fall for them anyways.

I hate how you can draw me back in love,
and then drop your love for me,
I hate the way you know just what to say
and the way you know just what I need.

I hate the way you know i'll come back,
the way you only want me when I'm gone,
I hate the way you make me cry,
but make me feel like I'm the one who's wrong.

I'm drawn to your words and your laugh,
drawn to the way you make me smile,
The way I go back is such a crime,
I put my heart on trial.

"don't get attatched" is so easy to say,
yet so hard to follow through,
I could walk away from almost every guy,
if only that guy wasn't you.

-Erin

I am glad to see another poem by you, I thought it was very good, but I especially likes the last stanza. Hope to see more soon. Nice write!

A beautiful poem. It's so hard trying not to get attached to someone when you really want to be. And if someone doesn't want to be attached, they just make you try harder.

~Poetry occurs when the heart, mind and soul combine to produce sweet words, which in turn, heal the hearts, minds and souls of others~
