Please darling please,
Don't do it, please walk
Back from whatever is
Holding you down from believing
In anything.
((I should have seen it sooner.))
And I want to save you
But I don't know how
Because even I can't save myself
And I never asked you to bleed,
Never asked you to scream
Never asked you to believe in me.

I'm not really clear on what this refers to... I'd appreciate it if you could clarify.

I did like the ending though... the enjambments worked nicely near the beginning to help the poem flow right along.

OK, two things:
1. Your g/f is very lucky to have someone who cares. So many guys would just walk off in disgust *stares sadly out of the window reminiscing* Oops, where was I? Oh yeah, good for you.
2. The poem ruled, I loved the title. It conveyed a sense of helplessness. Good one.

OK, now I'll attempt to put this in my library. Still don't know how to work this thing!

Yeah this was a pretty great poem. You expressed the love for your friend rather well. I enjoyed this one.

mmmmm...

i love these words.  you did a mighty fine job.  there's almost a lyrical aspect to them if you ask me.

and for my analogy of the day, it's like the honey in my tea.  it sinks to the bottom of my mind and sticks there, spreading sugar throughout.  though really all it is is bee vomit [experiencing the feelings that made you write it, the piece itself isn't vomit and i don't really feel like sticking my foot in my mouth again, as usual].

now misinterpret my words everyone!!

come on!! it's fun!!

excellent job clumsy, my favourite piece from you yet.

at first i wondered why white oleander was in the six dollar bargain bin.

and then i read it.
