Tell me what you guys think....it's been a while.


My heart, oh you condender to emotion,

Why whisper my name when trouble seems to lend?
Or sing me a silent song of praise upon a gruesome end?

Why with kind words have you fondled my right and wrong?
Or why break and enter into my mind and stay for however long?

Why do you shrivel up this pride and make a fool of me?
Or take my conscience and hang it for all to see?

Why when my envy rages do you flash it all before my eyes?
And take my shame and post it as clear as tonight's skies?

Why when I'm feeling blue do you like to taunt my dignity?
Or find a why to turn me colors and take away all serinity?

Why do you give me back those memories I saw in  dreams?
When I hurt inside, why rip apart the seems?

My heart,
Why do you through it for my eyes to discover?
Like the start of a masquerade party, no other?

Why with all this pain and anguish, do you only me trust?
And why do you allow my soul, the tremble of utter self-disgust?

Oh heart,
Are you the devil for me to find?
Or are you Satan just inside?

Cause if you were, I'd pull you out and break you,
Cause I fear you'd get to me first,
And leave my heart shattered and robbed,
Like that window in the street.

Wow! This was awesome. I am so glad that you have written another great piece. Sorry I havn't been around, I was in Long Island. Anyways, strong poem here, it was really well thought out and delivered the message with a purpose.

Love,

I like your poem a lot. It's very well writen. As for the emotion it has, I know it all too well. So who is this creep? A family member? classmate? Coworker? "friend?" Lover?

You guys are amazing...thanks for the wondrful comments!

Erin - Is that an 800 posts I see by your name?? only a few til member emertius? keep going and as for my pen, i went back-to-school shopping and bought a new one  

Dark Enchantress - Thanks so much for the kind comments! I really appreciate it, you have no idea...comments like these make me wanna write more!

jeremydraul - I was wondering were you were! Nice to have ya back and thanks for the wonderful comments...

Jose Matri - Thanks so much for reading and replying and to tell ya the truth, i wrote this after a fight with a "friend" as you said and I guess the questions though were more directed at myself...at my heart, because I felt that it was the one doing the damage not my "friend." Thanks again, I'm glad you liked it.

JnR4eva - Thanks so much....I've posted in open before, but ppl don't really know me in there so they don't really see it. But hopefully I'll post it in there soon. Thanks for the comment....I'm glad you like it.

TopGunLauren- Thanks for the kind reply. You guys are great!
