Mostly innocent, happy, free Bored with that - not liking me Wished for someone to show me life Wish was granted, fateful night Looked in his eyes, and fell in love Thought we were destined up above Didn't know him, didn't care Wanted him, his life to share Stole my innocent, happy, free Left me sobbing. On my knees. I was hurt, alone and scared And then I found out someone cared. Said all the things that needed said Convinced without him I'd be dead I decided I was wrong I once more fell, lived circle song Sweetness turned to hateful charm Trapped and screaming in his arms Don't care what you do to me But when you're done, just let me be I shouted, fought, I hoped and tried Until my heart laid down and died Swore to never love again What once was trust became a sin And that time, it was you who saved Helped me when I wasn't brave Patched my heart, and held me tight Brought me back and showed me light And when it hurt too much to bear You were always waiting there If I could only open my eyes You could banish all the lies And one more time, I thought I'd try Prayed that this time I was right You said I was, and took my hand And I thought I'd give love one more chance It seemed to be I'd finally found One who could speak without a sound Your eyes, soft words, haunted my nights But I was blinded by my sight For you too left, as all have done And wishing can't make you the one The only one who ever stayed And now you're gone, I'm left this place You took my heart, my hopes and dreams And this time no one hears my screams Perhaps that means they don't exist As never did your poisoned kiss And now I watch from distant dreams Think sometimes about these things That made me what the world now sees From mostly innocent, happy, free Whew. I'm just on a run of LONNNNG poems recently, aren't I? |

I like this too. They are long, but I don't get bored with them like I do with most really long poetry! I liked most of it, the wording was really good. The only thing I would change is maybe "Left me sobbing. On my knees." The way you separated that was odd, a little distracting. Otherwise it was good! Nice!  Cassi |

I know... I don't like that line either. It's one of those things you go over and over and keep changing it and it just never fits right... I hate it when that happens. Anyway, thanks for the support! |
