Stop Myself.. |

I've got to stop my mind from thinking. Stop my tears from falling, keep my soul from sinking. Forget I ever met you, stop myself from feeling.. Keep myself from eating, and contradicting all the words I've been speaking. I must disregard the way that sweater clung to you, now laying crumbled on my floor. I have to clean up after you, leave no trace of your scent.. For I don't quite appreciate the way you held me.. No, I never found comfort in your warmth .. I've got to forget about you.

strong words of a woman scorned.. good write... help keep it that way by doing a spell check.. You should find one error that can be fixed in a jiffy... "disregaurd" |

Sometimes you don't want to forget everything-maybe you learned from it? And besides, it's a fine poem. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

For I don't quite appreciate the way you held me.. No, I never found comfort in your warmth .. Loved this line Kaoru! |

I think when you start using words like must and should and got to, it means you don't want to. Still you painted necessity well. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Written very well. Sad, too :tear: I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

Kaoru, you wrote this very well. I really felt a lot of hurt in this part..... I have to clean up after you, leave no trace of your scent.. For I don't quite appreciate the way you held me.. No, I never found comfort in your warmth .. I've got to forget about you. Hope things get better soon. Hugs Ethel |

...as the old song goes, "I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair and send him on his way..." Powerful, emotive write! Lovin' hugs, Linda |
