the music in your words
comes as a surprise
because your eyes are silent to me
you're related to the night
and cloaked in mystery
love is your pulse

you play the instrument of life
with nothing but your breath
the girls you once knew
are on a first name basis with heartache
but oblivious is your middle name

your past is as unknown as your present
and your love is just as foreign
you keep the world on your shoulders
but never show a hint of it
painting masks is a talent

your pen is your wand
your words the magic
and your spells are your verses
to melt a jaded heart is your specialty
and to create them comes with no charge
walking contradiction

you know, when you learn to identify like this, one can only feel sorrow for this lonely soul, this taker of hearts...who is and always will be the looser in so many ways effecting his/her life in very bad ways...I pray these takers realize the harm they're doing...and all because they have an insatiable desire to fill they're egos...due to a loss of something, in their childhoods?  I feel badly for the souls they harm,,,but I can't imagine, what a lonely life they must truly live...think about it?  What do they really accomplish?  

You have certainly described this poor poor soul to the hilt.  I wish all people of this nature could see....and change...I really do...cuz killing innocence, belief, faith, also kills their own soul two fold?  The hard part is, you can't change them, or talk to them, unless they are able to identify their own flaws and seek the guidence they're path requires to change.

A very powerful poem, my dear.  This is by far my favorite of yours.  It is brimming with emotion and raw in it's context.  I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.  Remember, many are not of that nature.  Love is not something you tolerate, it's something that feeds on love returned.  No more, no less.  I applaud this one!  Your true God-given talent really shined through on this one.  Write more!  Write more!
