how could you go and leave me
all that I have left inside
how could you act so selfishly
after all the times i tried
to love you and save you
everytime-
i forgave you
and now i try to hate you
i try to separate you

from my heart
from my mind
from myself
but i find

even though you'll never need me
though i know you'll never care
though you meant to lead, mislead me
in my thoughts
you're always there

damn these thoughts that fill my head
i picture you and wish you dead
or never born
naive vision never torn
by your sweet words
by your lies
by your loving
lying eyes

never would i hear you say
forever
you would love
one tear is quite a price to pay
i've spent more than enough

you asked me
did i want you
yes
but now, i want you gone
i want you far away from me
further...
past the dawn

and i'll drift to where you've left me
all that i have left inside
how could you treat my heart this way
the tears still haven't dried

in my heart
in my mind
in myself
where i find
even though you don't hold me
even though no love's shared
though i curse what you told me
your image lingers there

damn these thoughts that fill my head
i curse your tongue
those lies you said
damn the dreams you gave me
and what am i to do
with all these feelings left inside

these memories of you

Very powerful poem forceful images all pushing their way at you overwhelming very good liked very much

Pure thought trying
Stabs at the mind
Looking for weakness
A tiny flaw
In an infinite space
yet we fight
Given to the purity
We battle out
Hearts battle horn
Encapsulating enemies
Evolved perfection
without purity
Mindless emotion
Purest love

From Walter


  Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock 'n roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow

What a very sad but very beautiful poem written by someone who obviously loved someone very much but then lost them.

Best Wishes

Sandra
