you strike me with fierce blows to my soul
your words pierce me deep into my heart
the wish to be free from you takes over
and i refuse to see your tears flow as well
time may heal all wounds, but i have none
ten more seconds of this pain will bring me to hate
but i cannot picture my life without you
and i cannot hate that which my past loves
things change and i know not how to stop them
for all i want is the love back in my veins
i want to hear someone say "it will be alright"
as cleche as it may sound, it will sooth me
you dont know how i hurt inside, because i bottle it
i do not know how my resent hurts your fragile heart
for you speak nothing of pain and hurt
you are a strong man, one for confrontation
if confrontation is what you wish for, i shall grant
here i am confronting you, like it or not
why do you seem to wish to bury my love
you dig great craters in our union, and hide it
you hold me down and do not let me soar
voices tell me to break free of you and i hear them
but they are not my voice, they are not me
they know not what i know of such a great man
i do not wish to mold you, or change your ways
yet i beg for you to not change your desire for me
for it keeps me here, in your wingspan
hand me your shovel and dig no more my love
let me soar, let our love soar, let us stretch
and i promise you we will fly away from this

wow..devin, this is SO great...so emotional and expressive...very well written...it aches with the frustration this person makes you feel...oh how i relate (smile) great job!!! jm

 You're going to hear my voice in the morning calling your name
And know my love and my desperation were one and the same...
Baby it's alright...
Take this pain and all this sadness
It's alright
Take this rain
You're going to be free...

i spent many years in a situation like this. for your sake i hope it changes. no, you can't listen to what other people tell you. when the time comes, your own voice will tell you what to do. you just have to have the courage to listen to it. love should not be such hard work. a great piece devin.

Devin,

Such passion and determination, I am touched by your poem. Such determination and resiliance is hard to find, but know the difference between futility and hope.

Thankyou for Sharing.

wow,this was a powerful piece! I felt the "tug of war" with this person. I hope that you find what you are seeking, and that this person realizes what they have in you. If not, then you need to move on and start again. I know easier said than done. But I just believe if someone isnt willing to be honest with someone and state how they truly feel, then its not meant to be. However, I also believe in the saying "time will tell". Anyway, sorry to ramble. This was sensational. Thanks for sharing!

From strength to strength, unreal!!  Really liked this  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......
