The stars are the diamonds in my life.
Would rather watch their sparkle,
Their gleam;
Then accept some man's pretty little box,
Containing strife on a ring.
I felt so different as a teen.
I dreamed that a star's beauty would only demean
Compared to my lover's skin and its sheen.
But every night,
As loneliness and I share our bottomless
Cup of spite,
I can ease my head back,
And see how naive I was then.
Those burning balls of gas,
Shooting through His universe so infinite
In its mass,
Appear to be so delicate,
And finer than crystal or wine
From a flask.
But just like my lover of the past,
Up close they will burn you quick,
And scar you fast,
Leaving marks that will forever last.
So, choose one.
The skies or man.
I choose the skies.
Can't hit me with its hands.

.Don't close your heart kid, not all men are like this. Few but not all.
I like the concept of the poem.
great expressions
Joel.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

When we`re young we think we have all the answers and can handle just about anything. Then life slaps us around, teaching us that we`re not as smart as we thought.You sound like you`ve learned a hard lesson my friend but don`t let it shut you off to the fact that there`s someone out there for you. Someone who`s idea of love doesn`t mean supplying bruises and blackeyes and i hope you find him.
Thanks for the poem

kynder, this is nice writing. Can sure feel the emotion coming from the words. Can understand why you "choose the skies". Noone deserves hitting!
Take care..~~dh
