nightly, I laid down with a casket of bricks upon my heart waiting...... those summer months were endless with desire's cruel madness chasing the elusive one the cloud that wouldn't rain the last bud that wouldn't blossom the first flower to bloom only to flatline, simultaneously how pathetic I became! to not say what I knew, to be in denial of the stars that had crossed writing poetry for one I would never share with fearing to reveal who I was and what I felt for one so undeserving run to the light seek the Messiah undo this spell cast off this demon! how can I have ever called you Love?

Oh this is down deep with despair about what you allowed to torment yourself. I have experienced some of the same feelings you write about. Self hate, and the tragic thing about it is that it didn't have to be so mean to ourselves, because the ones we pined over didn't deserved to be pinned over. ~*~ Less depends on the size of the dog in a fight than the size of the fight in the dog. ~*~ |

The soul-destroying power of unreciprocated love, beautifully penned. Concise, yet expressed completely. |

Oh yes, my dear, you nailed it. EmmaRose you are really writing fantastic poetry consistently!  If you wanted to grade your poetry according to the depth of the emotions you stirred...this would be the winner. I am sure this brought back a lot of long forgotten uncomfortable feelings for a lot of people.Lori  |
