my own little world

stand within the shadows
linger more with every step
lose the song of sparrows
cry. my face sobering wet

love is not my ally
hate is not my friend
now, though I try
my heart is broken beyond mend

this love hurts like daggers
this hurt makes me bend
I want to cool off with anger
but that only signals my end

drown this song, my danger
bleed my pain to past
forge my wall with battered fingers
demolish self with hell last

don't you dare let me love another
don't you dare let me suffer again
my stone face refuses a "together"
this cold place houses only one

so independant stranger I become
so become alone i stay forever

sleep my precious slumber

Well done River. You have skills yet uncovered. Chris

I love you
With a thousand hearts."

I disagree with all of u (expect for when u say this poem is great, there i can agree),

But my fav line is

"My stone face refuses a "together""

I love that line, as well as all ur poems River,

Hollow

I linger in the shadows, I breathe when I see you.

I like this poem.  It sounds daek and hurt.  The line I like the best is
  "demolish self with hell last"
This line sounds like trying and trying and getting nowhere and I can relate.

"Love is not my ally,
Hate is not my friend,
Now, though I try,
My heart is broken beyond mend."

I can definetly relate to this poem.
