[hometext] =>
[bodytext] => It’s been said that love is blind, An understatement, I’ve lost my mind To care for you, after all you’ve done, Burning alive, still I reach for the sun Staring through the bars of a cell, Begging to enter a familiar hell More than willing to endure any pain To be near you, a struggle so vain Endless days spent by the phone Only a shadow, no life of my own, Praying that you’d remember me For without your love, what would I be? You never noticed me, never cared A hint of trouble had you running scared You left me to die in life’s stranglehold Alone in a razor world of brutal cold An unwanted burden, an unwitting pawn Forced to face each bleak dawn Passed off, someone else’s headache, Losing my self and sanity, flake by flake They earn my trust, so simple then Foolishly, I dropp my guard, that’s when They plunge the knife through my heart The crippling pain is only the start The madmen play the best head games, Laughing eyes reflect the flames Left choking on the bitter ashes My life, a horror movie in flashes A silhouette in fading dust, I struggle on, they say I must They see nothing beyond the mask Unknowingly killing me with every task They’re blind to all my fears, say I lie with words and tears sneering as they see the strain of the charade I cannot maintain screams for help don’t seem to matter their ignorance continues, I finally shatter hear their laughter as I hit the ground all the pieces disappear. Never to be found is there any waking from this nightmare? Lonely, consumed by pain I can’t bear You can’t save me, more helpless than a child Gone is the sacred bond you defiled Trusting you is a wish upon a star Something so distant, so far It’s gone dark, gambling everything on nothing Held over a cliff by a frayed string Too many times I’ve been a fool Is it funny? I think it’s cruel Never again, I’m deaf to your lies You don’t win, I’m not a prize You say that I’m evil, the demon, The coward who had to run You were the one who pushed me away With your selfish games I won’t play What to break first, my heart or mind? An impossible choice, neither option was kind A question not if, but when Both are gone, what then? I left, the only thing I learned from you Do you blame me? I did what you’d do You left me alone, the best thing you ever did Tucked me into my coffin, and closed the lid [comments] => 1 [counter] => 80 [topic] => 39 [informant] => ravenoktober [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
