Resting in my cardboard box.

See- You people were so nice to me when I finally got the guts to post one of my "poems" that I thought I'd grace you with another. ( Aren't you regretting that now? )
I wrote this last night. I couldn't sleep. I had so many thoughts and feelings in my head that I just had to let out. And I did, Through my pencil. So although this has no pattern, no rhyme scheme, no meters- in fact- it just looks like talking....It still means alot to me. It's me. It's how I feel. Maybe the way I wrote it shows you the emotion in it??? I don't know. I just couldn't see it rhyming or anything. Oh well. Probably just me. So here!

~Permanent Changes.~

Something has changed.
I never catch you looking at me anymore.
That cute sideways grin is rarely shot my direction.
You aren't rushing home to talk to me.
Where's the I love you's?
The hugs
The kisses
Why is everything vanishing?
Was it something I did or said?
Or perhaps
Something I didn't.

I want to cry now
No- Die.
I hope someday you hurt like me.


Yes, Things have changed.
You are looking at her again.
Charming her with your grins and wits.
Spending "our" quality time
My time
With her instead.
The I love you's
The hugs
The kisses
She has them again.
I said I loved you.
I helped you heal.

I want to hate her.
But I can't.
You see- All she did was whistle-
You were the one that ran back.


So- Here's a change for you to chew on.
And sweetheart, this change is permanent.
I won't be looking at you again.
My love
My kisses
My all
Gone.
I'm not helping you again.
Yes- I say again.
There will be a time you need me.
You will need me to tend your wounds.
Because trust me, she'll burn you again.
Just like you did me.

I want to laugh at you now
But I'll wait till your hurting.
I'm sure I won't be waiting long.

Wow....this really hit me.....strange....very strange aswell. It's funny cuz i'm in the same.....the same exact situation....and it sounds like this poem is speaking to ME......I enjoyed the poem though. very nicely done.....chilling....very chilling.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I really like this one.  You do great with free verse.  It still had some poetic element to it that still makes it poetry obviously.  Sorry you are going through this.  :Hugz:  

*~*Amanda*~*

My tears roll right down my cheeks, but they all soak into my pillow.  I feel kinda sorry for it...

this is incredible writing, you certainly did capture a lot of emotion in this poem.  each line has you poured into it and the fnal product turned out beautifully    wonderful job, keep posting.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

You like me! You really like me! HaHa

Seriously though- I was afraid to post this one because I thought so highly of it. Not that it's anything amazing at all- It's just that it was me- My emotions- my feelings at the time...and to reject it- would be to reject me...and I couldn't take that.
But thanks so much for the praise in it. It means alot to me.

Suga_Baby- That was my favorite part too! HaHa- I got to have an attitidue-I got to be strong. I loved that part. And saying she whistled- he can running back- symbolized the dog in him. hahahahaha.

And Dopey_Dope- Good. It was suppose to hit you hard.

Suga picked out my favourite part too. I just got an image of a Warner Bros. cartoon when that part was read.
It's a great piece with powerful feelings. It always helps to get this stuff out of you.

Thanks for the read.

well. as carly once told me when talking about writting "San you have very good thoughts you just dont have the gift", i think this is definetly something MORE than just thoughts. it is so nicely explained and detailed.

Guys overall suck. exept for a few, and those few normally dont have an ex-girlfriend to run back to.
*hint**hint*

I think im going to bed.
this was a nice read to finish the day.

San, the wise
San, the dumb
San, the guy...

I loved this poem!
I was in this very same situation not to long ago
and it brang the memories flooding back
You have a beautiful gift
and he is just giving you the oppertunity
to share it with the world  
and hunny dont worry
someone else will relize how great you are
and they will laugh at him

Talking about pouring your heart out
Passions in Poetry in writing
I like it when feelings are just written down as is
No worrying of the rhyme scheme or meter.
That's why I love free verse.  I believe it shows more emotion
And you just proved my thoughts to be right
I loved the read  

"So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this give life to thee."  W.S.

I just had to reply to this again. Reading this and reading some of your other pieces really does show how far you have come as a poet, Jesa. You have grown so much and are able to show so much more in your poetry now. I love seeing poets hit a stage where they just change their style completely.

Well done on this too. It read a lot like someone we all know about.
