I've been forgotten   within my own mind
the traces of me   empty shimmers in time
I used to cry, cry bloody tears just to sleep
I used to feel pain   wounds burned too deep!
People said i was normal, no problems they see
but if i'm so normal then why'd this happen to me?
I used to be normal  until i met you,
I transcended felt better   felt happy and new.
I haven't been normal   since you broke me down
I haven't been happy   since i started to drown.
Six months of forgetting   all that i was,
i understand   but no one else does.
I locked myself in my mind   refusing to be,
I made myself blind    refusing to see.
Spent such a long time  my mind locked up tight
secretly silenced  my last will to fight.
You made me afraid   to let people get near
it was for you   i cried my last tear


April 4, 01
i've been considering making the last line
" it was your fault    i cried my last tear"

but i'm not sure which i like better so any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks - Kaos

No comments?

I don't think you should change it at all!!
I like it just the way it is.

There is so much feeling in this poem.
Hugs,

Perfect the way it is, otherwise it would be bitter.
