That I have no real heart
You tell me I've so much to learn
You can't tell me where to start

Sticks and stones
Will break my bones
But words will
never hurt me

Sorry that you can't relate
That you think I don't care
But to tell me I wasn't there for you
How could you dare

Sticks and stones
will break my bones
But that won't keep me
From protecting you

I was there to keep you safe
When your inner demons won
I was the one who emptied
those bullets from your gun

Sticks and stones
Will break my bones
But time for fighting
is done

I can't be to blame
for all of life's twists
I can't keep stitching
Those cuts along your wrist

Stick and stones
Will break my bones
But there is only
so much I can take

My only choice is to push you
Completely out of my life
You just don't seem to listen
It's just not worth your strife

Sticks and stones
Will break my bones
But your demons
Will destroy you [comments] => 9 [counter] => 408 [topic] => 43 [informant] => PoeticHybrid [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Clever play on a childs verse!
Yet there is nothing childish about the emotions this brings to the surface.
Nice blend.

Nice work, I can see where you are coming from in this write. Its hard always being there to protect and help your friends, only to be pushed away, ridiculed and rejected.

Its a hard thing to to, to push away one of your friends, but sometimes, it must be done.

Very good work!

I really enjoyed reading this. I loved the flow and the message is very true. It's terrible how some peoples depend of and take advantage of others sometimes. Nice work.

There are those that take, and those that give.....it easy to see in this instance who the giver is. A reminder of the price for caring.........excellent use of well-known verse and fresh aspect.

Wow - this is very good!
I love the blend of techniques. The use of the old saying, the story flow and the rhyme all work well together. I like the progress through to the end conclusion about the relationship - sounds like a very complicated situation and it sounds like you were doing all the fighting while the other was stubbornly sticking to a self-destructive path.
Great write!
