This is a poem i wrote for an ex that kinda.. broke me.
I am afraid and full of confusion
Nobody knows why- No one knows a reason
I analyze and think, but still so much pain
Why am i full of such disdain

Ambivalent- Yes
But why is this so?
You ask me to let you help, but i just don't know
Letting you in is much too hard
The pain inside, I can't just discard.
So many years built up inside
So many years worked hard to hide.
Please don't even try
Just the memories will make me cry.

I'm battered abd beaten beneath my skin
But don't as me to share the pain that's within
For i know the truth and the way that you feel
Please, wake me from this dream, it is too surreal.

My contempt, my compassion, misery and fear
All expressed through one little tear.
Or so i'll let you think and believe is true
When I could never truely express this to you

I'm unable and unwilling to portray the honest me
Even if I did there'd be more you would not see
So, leave it at this
Just leave me alone
My heart seems to give my feelings
a very good home.

..sigh..Hey babe! I couldn't have said it better, your emotion rings clear through every line of this poem, heartwrenching and honest. It's beautiful, you have a distinct way with words that gently eases your message across yet leaves you with a powerful meaning. It's marvilous.
