bear with me a story bold
hidden hurt that longs be told
call me not into love's chamber
drench me cold within your anger
I've not one more smile to give
this the life I've chose to live
nothing less, a tale of woe
delve into my heart shadow
darkness falls across my lips
tears slip down in crimson drips
you'll not see my secret room
or ever share my love in bloom
each day I live, draws me near
to the rest I hold so dear
someday I'll sleep to ne'er wake
your painful love I shall forsake
touch me not, nor hold me close
my heart is like a dying rose
in your mind I'm yours to save
my life is yours, because you gave
I cannot trod this rugged path
is my solitude too much to ask?
the ache within overwhelms
with no captain at my soul's helm

bid me into welcome sleep
take my soul into thy keep
this my prayer I beg of God
set me from this mortal sod

nope I'm not suicidal just stressed and this is what happened

Angel, you reached deep with this one.  I can relate to the refusal to accept love so evident in this piece, many of us probably can.  Very painful and very moving poem.

Very moving and emotional piece here.  When stressed sometimes we produce our best poems ever!!  That looks as though it may be the case here!!  Bravo hon

*IF* You copied and pasted what has already been said regarding this poem.. you have how it affected me!

The emotion is raw and the words well expressed.

Very good.

Raw powerful emotion.  Well said.  I loved it.

Thanks guys   I almost deleted it, but kept it at Michael's request *sigh*. It's funny that you all liked a poem I thought was so terrible! I wrote it in about 5 minutes and was pretty stressed when I did...maybe I should stress out on paper more often! LOL
