Been waiting for something to break my heart
So callous laiden, I can't feel a thing at all
Will you catch my fall?

Fear is keeping time, the beating of my heart
I'm doing too much thinking
It's tearing me apart
I feel you reach for me

I don't know where to start
I haven't changed, card houses still
cover my landscape
Upon one's will, my protection comes down again
My chains prevent me from reaching emotional freedom
You are here, for me or you?
Love is intrusive only when you don't want it
I am here, for me or you?

Castles made of sand slip into Sea eventually...

Why do people remind me of vacuums?

My tears roll right down my cheeks, but they all soak into my pillow.  I feel kinda sorry for it...

yanno, when i read the title of i got this mental image of a tie, like one of those things you wear with a suit getting caught insomething and being strained.  for some reason i was pleased to discover that no one else thinks the way i do, and the poem was not acutally about straining ties.  i'm in a really weird mood.  anyway, good poem, keep posting your work.  

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

Wow, i liked this one a lot.  I thought it was going to rhyme, but it didn't, and that was more than ok.  Great work!

The last two lines really had an impact on me. It's the lingering question that everyone at one stage asks.
I liked the way it was written. Good on you.

I feel this wasn't your best, but I did enjoy the read. Keep them coming.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I personally thought that this poem has a chance to be great.  The thoughts are there, but it feels like it's missing something.  I'll let you now if I find the answer    thanks for sharing
