[hometext] => This is about people who say they love you, but they`re just using you...not only do they break your heart, but they just leave you feeling pretty hopeless for the future.
[bodytext] => This will never leave my mind,
That doesn`t stand a chance;
Gone before I turned around,
And got a second glance.
Gone before I said good-bye,
And gone before I knew;
Gone before I saw the truth,
That all things were untrue.
No stranger to this mystery,
Of having loved and lost;
Just one more push back towards the edge
That`s waiting to be crossed.
Wearing thin to discontent,
Stretched far beyond my means;
About to fall straight through myself,
And lose all in between...
You give an inch, they take a mile,
And kindly ask for more;
Knowing that you have no strength,
Or sense of pride in store.
Keep running `round, it won`t be found,
You let them get their way;
Your love was blind, and you will find,
It often makes you pay.
The price, not cheap, the product foul,
The lesson, cold as ice -
You can choose to trust one once,
But never trust one twice.
Those people want to break your heart,
And sell you back the pieces;
Those people want to stop your faith,
Until your will, it ceases.
But of all the people who stab your back,
There`s one held high above;
They`re the one you hate the most,
The person that you love.

Extremely well put together containing some of the best rhyming and emotional content i've ever read!
I thought the last stanza was the most amazing thing.. just great!
I also liked the line "falling straight through myself" very introspective
keep up the excellent writing.

| Hello, This was a wonderful write. I stopped to read it because I really liked your name "Freak-of-the-week. I got such a nice surprise when I read your work. There were so many great lines in here. For example: The 4th stanza is just excellent. The 7th stanza also spoken quite well and the 8th too. Very nice piece of writing. I'll have to look for more from the freak. I too consider myself a freak, a very happy hippie one! Peace Laura |
