Standing In Silence...

0 posted 2003-02-16 05:20 PM


She's not any better..
She's not any better..

She shakes every night,
because her nerves are shot.
So she sits and writes,
about every little thing
she's not.

Why does it even matter?...
Why does it even matter?...

She sits and wonders,
why love always leaves her.
The storm outside thunders,
and the fire in her heart
began to stir.

And the grip became tight..
And the grip became tight..

She feels the walls glaring,
showing everything she's lost.
She feels the people staring,
showing everytime she was crossed.

All the wrongs she can't make right..
All the wrongs she can't make right..

She remembers all the lies,
she feels so betrayed.
They never saw the pain in her eyes,
she remembers the mistakes she made.

She's seen deceit and faced defeat..
She's seen deceit and faced defeat..

If You Wanna See A Rainbow, You've Gotta Live Through The Rain. And If You Wanna See Through Love, You've Gotta Live Through The Pain.

Staci, I really liked this one. The formation...the uncertain rhyme...it really struck my attention. And I feel it too. I relate. Good job hunnie!

Spine Grinder~
And you SHOULD be proud of this one.
This is VERY well written and I, too,
found the repetition to be very effective
in this piece.  The whole poem held my
attention all the way through and had
a feel of intensity that couldn't be denied.
Well done!
