There was one who stole my heart then he ripped and tore it apart A strange girl he sat on his knee and told her things he never told me I went home and cried on my bed not a word to my mother I said My father came home and looked but he could not find me Pounding and banging down my door he broke There he found me hanging by a rope As he went to cut me down on my dresser a note he found "Dig my grave, six feet deep a marble stone from head to feet On the top put a dove so the world will know I died for love" Oh, darling dear, what have you done? You killed yourself for son man's son... ------------------ Deanna Ballman |

Dee I'm glad you're around to write this poem. As a rascal and scalawag (retired, of course), may I say that NO MAN IS WORTH ALL THAT! I hope you haven't been hurt this way. |

I've got a feeling you've been down that road I traveled just a few years ago...most of my poetry was written during that time. I think we sometimes write our best pieces when we're down ...one's emotions truly shine through at our lowest point...good work, but so vivid & hasty it nearly scared me off my seat!!  ------------------ - poet FemmeFatale "The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone..." Henrik Ibsen (1826-1906) Norwegian dramatist lyric poet |

I do agree the this was quick and to the point but that's what's unique. Thanks for your replys. I also agree no one is worth taking your own life. You only have one to live. Deanna |

Deanna I'm glad to see you're not a risk. When you think about all the men in the world, it is kinda overwhelming, ain't it? All us 'angels' out here? hugs and hopes for a speedy recovery |

I was in high school when I wrote this. I was just trying to prove a point about how it's not worth it. I was never in this situation. Just a friend was. *sigh* |
