Forever In Your Heart

0 posted 2004-05-01 04:37 AM



How many times has my soul been blind?
my heart stabbed? yet I felt nothing,

You hunt to kill,
not love, the chase is thrill,
and you know nothing of it,
Your souls an empty hole to fill,

A thousand deaths I have died,
sorrow visits, like the rise
and fall of the tide,

Once again, I am bone,
broken, shattered,
so alone, to you,
my love never mattered,

How foolish am I to have played the part,
silly games, aiming for the bullseye,
targeting my heart,

Over-kill, shredded, be-headed,
betrayals bullets,
my heart becomes embedded,

To give you pleasure of my thoughts,
no! I shall keep them to myself,
in a safe jar upon my minds shelf,

Darkness swallows me,
choking at my bits and pieces,
loves color, loves beauty becomes lost,

You offer love, but know nothing of it,
I will not become the sacrifice,
my life , too valuable to pay such a cost,

The devil himself I could love more than you,
for he never promises to love,
his intentions are all ready known,

A mask you wear,
great you are not,
truth comes to me,
when needed, I am shown,

Murderer, murderer,
or shall I call you a thief?
I came to the slaughter,
A poets loving daughter,
who leaves you grief,

Out of my mouth I spew you,
bitter taste, raw, sour stomache ache,
eating your poisoness stew,
poems of loves brew,

To grasp, and cling,
this life I pull,
feeling deaths sting,
but I, no not I,

Will never again,
play the part,
of the fool.

It is a passionate write..but full of vitriolic statement...i only hope that you have attempted to see BOTH sides of the coin...before making judgement...but well writen none the less...thank you...
