i awoke after a restless sleep
lying here in this broken heap
my mind is void of all emotion
why not push me into the raging ocean

your leaving was so sudden to me
but now i can be what i wanna be
my mind is moving in slow motion
its like you gave me some messed up potion

you took all that wasnt rightfully yours
you've dotted all the "i's" and closed all the doors
what the hell, were you just messin' around?
"haha" you really thought i wouldnt make a sound?

they came for you just days ago
i wish i had the nerve to just tell you "no"

SO WHAT..you wanna stay here
but everytime i look in the mirror
i see you
and what you do

its over with us
YEAH...now look whos tough

yeah your gone
i aint crying no tears
cuz im done living in all of this fear

Okay, first off let me say this was a great poem. This certainly captured my attention.

Now I know my opinion on this might differ a lot from others but I just thought I’d say it, in my belief you don’t need profanity to get your point across in poetry. I know, just one word, and hell isn’t always considered profanity but in the way it was written in your poem, well, you get the picture. I just think that there are always other words you could use and still keep it all ages friendly, you know? No offence, that’s just what I think…

Also, I could be wrong on this cause I’m not very good with grammar and stuff, but I think that the first to lines in the poem are different tenses, but I’m not positive, so if you think they are right don’t listen to me.

"your leaving was so sudden to me
but now i can be what i wanna be
my mind is moving in slow motion

This part^^ I loved it. I loved the words you used. The first two lines are what really makes me like this though. Very good job on this.

Thanks for sharing

yeah...i guess you are right with the "hell" thing to be honest, the way i was raised i never really considered it profanity, but i should think about that before i post things because people believe different things...thanks for the eye opener!
