I feel it but i won't let it near
i can't describe what i see
but i know that it's not real
i dance around the truth,
knowing the pain it will inflict.
in my mind i see visions
but i know none of it's real,
i'd tell you what i feel
but you can't understand
your not where i am
alone in a confused land
i wish you could understand my thoughts
but i can't let them go
so i keep my heart hidden
and my mind closed,
once i let my heart wonder
now i know not to let it go

 Don't look... you might see.
Don't listen... you might hear.
Don't think... you might learn.
Don't walk... you might stumble.
Don't run... you might fall.
Don't make a decision... you might be wrong.
Don't live...you might die.

I've felt like this before; I feel like that now, in fact.  Letting yourself love and feel just because you've been hurt, no matter how badly, is more of a pain than a mend to you inside.  You become more hopeless when you aren't really all that helpless at all.  But otherwise, lovely poem.  Welcome to Passions.

You'd be surprised at how many people that have been where you're at
don't make the mistake of bottling it up
find a good friend to confide in
they can't give you a cure but they gan give you a solid shoulder to lean on
You're not alone ... look around ... read some poems ... you'll find your lonely world is heavily populated

yes i know how many "lonely" people there are. that's what the poems about.  I like to write what i see in others,

  "is not only he who speaks contrary to what he knows who lies, but even more he who speaks contrary to what he does not know. And thus you speak of yourselves in your dealings with others and deceive your neighbour with yourselves."

this was absolutely beautiful... i think the makers of idioms and such need to make one for this.. like unrequited love.. but this is more of a scared love... hm...

 Regret for things you did maybe tempered by time, regret for things you Didn't do, however, is inconsolable...

Star Fairy 2:  scared love?  what do you mean?

  "is not only he who speaks contrary to what he knows who lies, but even more he who speaks contrary to what he does not know. And thus you speak of yourselves in your dealings with others and deceive your neighbour with yourselves."

enigmatic: this is an extremely nihlistic piece, but being a former nihlist i understand the sentiment well.. the poem is well-concieved and honest, as well as well-written... i do have to part ways with you on some of your ideas though... i certainly understand what it's like to put walls around oneself...

sincerely,
jerome the mysterious priest

 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
