i have not posted in a while, not inspired enough to 'deem' anything good...i really don't like this one, it need a lot of work, so let me know...i really did not even want to post this one, but it has been too long...


lost in a world of self deceit
will this mistake bring our vivid crystal to her eye
i wanted you to hate
i wanted you to love me
i wanted to show you everything

i know it was too soon
for me to love you
but does that mean that you can run
into someone else's arms

i want to show you love
and give what's left of my world
right there

there, you see it
there's my flaw
one of my million

i know you see it too
will you stay
and help me fix myself

or will you be scared of your true feelings
the feeling of love
don't turn it to hate

will my mistake bring this vivid crystal to your eye

i'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions

which would you prefer my finger on the trigger of love or
me face down, down across your floor
as long as your heart is loaded


--------
egh, sorry to put you through that...

Through what? Honesty?

I liked it, raw and undemanding..yet yearning.

Editing? Nah, for fools only, keep what comes out clearly and plainly.

Exellent write.

do NOT edit this, it would ruin it.  Editing some poems just takes away what made them special to begin with.  It's like baking cookies and then pulling out the chocolate chips to make the cookie look more perfect.  Poetry to me is about emotion and when you just write and leave something alone that's when the emotion shows best.  I loved it, just like all of your poems raw, honest and full of emotion.  Great stuff.

eor this is so sweet. Vulnerable. So open, and honest. I would rather have someone lain out on their face on my floor because that means there's an HONEST humbling within that persons soul. I cried and cried when I read this again. Sheesh this makes me wish I could take a persons pain for them so they could have some time away from the torment of their pain. Hurt to read this one. Bless your heart...this is just heart-breaking. You because YOU are much more than worth it. You are worth it a million times over!

"sorry to put you through that"?!?!?  This piece radiates energy and emotion.  It is raw, which can be one of the bests aspects of poetry!  And the last stanza...  well, is just...  *god why can't I ever find the words I want?*  breath-taking.     This hits home all too well.  *library!*  You don't have to like it, I will enough for both of us.

I know, I feel like that about a lot of my pieces, but if you took the time to write it, then it means something to you & that's all that is important!! I think it's great just the way it is!! " What lies behind us & what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us"

<me face down, down across your floor
as long as your heart is loaded>>

I love that part!! Really got me thinkin'

Ms. Rose-as always you words of encouragement strike deep.

inkedgoddess-thank you

Alicia-thanks for your kind words, and adding my poem that means a lot to me

Elmo-thanks for your kind words as well, sometimes even though my poetry is from the heart i don't think it is worth anything

Maggie-thanks, i hope it is

Thank you all again!

Matt?

you the fool? no no, on the contrary . . .
it is the one who does not accept the love that never feels or truly lives . . .
Please know this
