Come find me?

0 posted 2007-08-22 12:21 PM



I'm too empty inside,
To write anything down.
I'm lost in my own world,
Just waiting to be found.

I can't hear the people,
Who are calling out to me.
I've failed at this life,
By losing chances i couldn't see.

I shouldn't think about you,
It'll only take longer to heal.
But i guess that doesn't matter,
When the truth is, i can't feel.

But life must go on,
There's nothing i can do.
To stop my bleeding heart,
From loving the likes of you.

So here i am again,
Standing at your door.
Maybe i should turn away,
But i stand here as before.

Please just let me in,
I'll make everything right.
Cause if you leave me out here,
I'll fade into the night.

But maybe that's the best way,
For me to die inside.
At least i won't have to worry,
About being tortured by your lies.

So now as you stand at the door,
And close it in my face...
I wanted you to know,
That you've fallen from your grace.


So no more hiding all your pain, you deserve a new start. That's why i'm closing myself away, this is a message from your heart.

I really like this, just because I can really relate though in the first two stanzas the rythmn is off. It works but it feels that maybe a bit of tweaking could help. Try reading it out loud to yourself, cause some words to me didn't fit with the rest or through it off.  Just minor comment about spelling , tourchered is spelled tortured. And maybe for the last line instead of 'your grace' maybe just from'grace'.

i liked the overall poem, but i would have to agree with Rhla that the flow of the poem doesn't really...well, flow.

"I shouldn't think about you,
It'll only take longer to heal.
But i guess that doesn't metter,
When the truth is, i can't feel."

you spelled "matter" as "metter" in the third line haha. But good job with the poem , i really like it.
